The Classic White Shirt

Posted in Sewing

I completed my third V&A shirt this week, this time in classic white linen.

The author stands in front of a lattice with a vine growing through it. She's photographed from neck to thighs, wearing a long-sleeved, collarless, white linen shirt tucked into pale grey pants. She has her hands behind her back, and her body is angled slightly away from the camera.

I made all the same modifications as last time with the pale pink shirt. (Check that out for more details!) Similarly, this is also replacing a white fast-fashion shirt I’ve had for a while.

I get what people with all-neutral-coloured wardrobes are on about now; I feel very put-together in this outfit.

The sleeves of the shirt are rolled up, and the author has her hands in her pockets. The centre front button placket ends about halfwya down the torso in a triangular shape.

(Side note: the buttons I found for this shirt are so cute! Again, these were from One Hook Two Needles.)

On the inside yoke, at the back fo the neck, is a hanging loop of white ribbon sewn to a small square of the linen.

(The back is also the same sleek inverted box pleat – I forgot to get a picture of it, oops!)

Don’t worry, though – I am not giving up my colourful clothes! Speaking of, I have about eight or so brightly coloured fabrics ready to be made into these shirts. Can you guess one of the colours?

Anyways, see ya!
