Endless Summer Shirt Pattern -- Ann Tilley Handmade

The Endless Summer Shirt is a casual top with elevated details to make you feel special every day. Pleating at the base of the yoke floats the fabric away from the body + provides shaping even though the side seams are straight. Slight gathering at the top of the shoulders + a relaxed fit under the arm means no fabric is getting too close to the body in the sticky summer heat. The sleeves are all-in-one with the bodice panels, so no setting in a sleeve— when the side seams are done, so are you! The neck is finished with a shawl collar that is part of the front panel, creating a V-neck opening. The front hem splits just above the hip into a dramatic curve that’s finished with a hem facing that can match or contrast for an additional fun detail.

The maker will choose their size based on their bust measurement, and instructions for optional adjustments for the sleeves are hips are included in the pattern.
