(Another) Style Arc Lauren Boyfriend Shirt

I made myself another shirt

Another Style Arc Lauren Boyfriend shirt.

This boyfriend style shirt is a wearable example of the new trend in shirts. Sleeve interest is such an important part of the current trends and this shirt has a longer than usual cuff with the buttoning at the front. Roll the sleeves up to give an easy, casual look, great over jeans or a pair of slouchy pants. The men's style shirt tails makes this a perfect over shirt.

I used some pretty Japanese lawn from Spotlight

And this time I added side vents.

I think the softer fabric works better in this pattern.

worn with Vado custom fit jeans

This shirt is deliciously cool to wear.

It fits very nicely into my capsule wardrobe.

~My Verdict~

Very pleased.

My bust measurement put me in the size 10 and I didn't worry about a FBA. I took the chance that would be enough ease and Elsa was happy to take it if it was too small.

I do like Style Arc, it is only my second Style Arc sew but I am a convert.

Not instruction heavy but that is okay with me. The paper pattern are only one size but if you purchase a PDF version it comes with three.

My only real grumble is the ink runs if you press the pattern. I am a pretty pedantic presser and this caused some issues.

I didn't set in my sleeves after sewing the side seams, no need, they go in nicely flat.

I did interface the cuff as I like to roll it and it stays nice and smooth with that added body.

I am now tossing up between a white or pale blue linen version...

Any thoughts?

Blue would get a second wear before laundering...

Thanks for reading.
