Description

Reclaim the button-up with the Vernon Shirt! This boob-friendly take on the essential button-up shirt features two views: View A is a classic shirt with a traditional collar and collar stand, and full sleeves with narrow cuffs. View B is a fashion-forward version with a dramatic collar, covered button placket, and lantern sleeves with wide cuffs.

From flannel work shirts to posh statement tops, the Vernon can do it all—and with cup sizes from C–H, thoughtfully placed bust darts, and side seam shaping, you’ll get a fabulous fit from collar to hem.

This Cashmerette pattern includes:

  • Cup sizes from C to H
  • A sizing calculator which will tell you exactly which size to make
  • A beautifully illustrated and detailed instruction booklet, to guide you no matter your sewing level

    Worth the effort

    Posted by WHA on 1st Feb 2024

    I made version A with version B wider cuff. At 5’9” tall I added an extra 2cm length to the pattern for the sleeves and body before making a toile in sheeting. I found the instructions clear and easy to follow, except for the continuous bound plackets. Having checked the fit I lowered the bust dart, increased the arm scythe by 0.5cm, widened the cuff by 0.5cm & narrowed the collar depth by 1cm. Whilst my first full make is wearable I’ve added 1.5cm further length to the arm scythes and 1cm more to the cuffs for my next shirt. As an advanced beginner sewer I have learnt a lot and really enjoyed making my first shirt. My next challenge is to work on seam finishing ( French for the side/sleeve seams & possibly flat felled for the shoulder/sleeve seams).
