Great Pattern - not much ease

I love this pattern; it is well drafted, and the instructions are good, but not for a beginner. The only thing I had trouble with was the sizing. My husband wears an XL in "ready to wear" here in the US. The first one I made was XXL graded to XL; it was too snug for him. He prefers much more ease. The next one I made was the 4XL graded to 3XL. It came out much closer to the fit he likes.

The best beginner-friendly pattern ever

I bought this pattern with the intention of making a birthday gift for my partner and read all the reviews because, as an absolute beginner sewist, I knew this would be a challenge. From the written instructions to the you tube sew along videos I honestly could not have been in better hands - everything clearly laid out and beautifully demonstrated. The shirt came out fantastically and has given me the confidence to keep trying things outside of my comfort zone. I cant recommend this enough.

So good

My husband appreciated the tailored shirt with nice details. And I appreciated the well drafted pattern and the instructions. It was easy to accomplish a clean look for example on the collar because of the clever order of steps. I made view A and added the straps on the arms from view B.
