Disappointing

I made the fitted, long-sleeved version. I was frustrated initially by the options resulting in many pattern pieces. I chose the fitted version with long sleeves, requiring the application of a tiny continuous lap and cuff. I am capable of this work, but it wasn't fun, and when I was finished, I had a beautiful little shirt that was a skimpy fit on both my old Kit and my new Molly. I am now faced with giving up or making a save. I know we're told to be careful about measurements, but honestly, for a pattern of this type, I would expect it to be roomier. If you want to make an authentic button-up shirt, this might be your pattern, but if your goal is to quickly make something cute for your doll, find another pattern with fewer time-consuming details.

Button Up Shirt

This is an awesome pattern. It goes together beautifully. I am not quite finished, but am so pleased with how it is looking. You can't go wrong with this pattern.

Instructions too messy

This pattern Includes many lovely variants of the shirt which is nice. Unfortunately the way the instructions are written and jump around between the variations makes it very difficult to follow and the images for certain steps do not help clarify. I have been unable to finish one shirt because the instructions are too complicated and I do regularly sew more intermediate pieces

Button-Up Shirt

Adorable shirt pattern and it looks just delightful on. Loved the detail on the sleeve openings, front placket, collar and back yoke. Well worth the effort and time.
