Shirting Project
-
-
Before making this shirt, I did french knots for fabric challenge as a side project.

Finally I have made this tension spot fading out with diffusion.

The first muslin shirt I made had tucks.

It’s totally gone vintage. With my professor Joe’s encourage, I started a new design.
-
-
The new shirt has sleeve that belong to the bodice pieces.
-
-
Basically my pattern has a back yoke, a front piece, and a back piece.
-
-
I did French Seam for keeping the outside clean.

The basic shirt is done.
-
-
Then I added french knots on the front
-
-
I imagined a small tension spot as I did for swatch would be to distracting on a wearable shirt, and it makes no sense. So I modified its shape like a scar.

For balancing the visual, I did a small one on the other other bottom side
-
-
It looks like a small wrapped shape
-
-
I designed hidden buttons in my pattern, so the front will look clean and plain.
-
-
4 buttons are attached. For making the shirt looser, I did not put a top button and a bottom button.
-
-
First I had a collar without a stand, but it failed.
-
-
My Final Collar, which has a short corner and a regular stand.

My friend Sun was my volunteer. She matched the shirt with my skirt from the previous project. Because shirting has a soft structure, the french knots lay in different directions, which I expected.
