I’ll update when I sew this shirt, but I just wanted to say that the intro to the pattern with instructions and sizing guide, etc is so amazing!! You’ve obviously put so much effort into making this really user friendly and I’m totally blown away. THANK YOU thank you thank you!

Have made one shirt and plan several more, now that I know how well it fits. Excellent drafting and instructions. I even managed the collar first time! It was wonderful to have a pattern that didn’t need a FBA. Thank you Adrianna!
