The pattydoo draped Shirt "Elaine" is a casual top with flattering side pleats, formed by the cut of the fabric rather than by using elastic.
The pattern contains:
- all of the pattern pieces in sizes DE 34-52/US 2-22
- variations: short an long sleeves
- measurements in cm/inch, as well as sewing instructions
Material recommendation: Lightweight, softly-draping jersey material made of cotton or viscose, with around 5% lycra/spandex. The band for the neckline can be made out of the same material as the shirt or else out of a fine ribbed or knitted material (cotton with lycra/spandex)
The amount of fabric needed for each size, as stated in the chart, is calculated for fabrics without a pattern - or at least a pattern without a direction (like stripes), and assumes a fabric width of 150 cm (1 3/4 yd).
