Description
The elegant princess line in the back of the Shirtwaist is accented by two wide tucks that extend over the shoulders to the front. A pretty scalloped front opening and gathers at the back waist soften the silhouette ( a simpler straight front placket is optional). Moderately full set-in sleeves gather neatly into buttoned cuffs. Bias details may be done on the straight grain of the same or contrasting fabric, or omitted altogether.
Suggested fabrics: Light to medium-weight soft or crisp fabrics such as cotton broadcloth, poplin, or denim; silk; linen; or blends. The Skirt can also be made from light to medium-weight wool, corduroy, or velveteen.
