Simplicity 1538

A pattern for a classic semi-fitted shirt with darts, a yoke, shirt-tail hem and attached front band. The yoke, sleeves and cuffs may be varied. I have made two examples of this shirt, both in Liberty's lawn, and find it a good fit. My only quibbles are that the cuffs are much too wide and need be cut narrower, and that the collar is (in my opinion) too small and dainty. Nevertheless I like this pattern and would happily make it again.
