The Dinner Shirt – Sizes 6-22 (download)
$25.00 – $100.00
The Dinner Shirt Sewing Pattern is a classic shirt design that can be interpreted as both an interesting workplace shirt or a colourful creative weekend shirt. It can be sewn in one fabric only making the most of all the creative seaming. Or made colourful with the use of one or two contrast fabrics in the collar and shirt bib pieces. It is designed for woven fabrics only and would suit fine woven shirtings in cotton, linen or silk. For workwear the use of a quality polyester blend shirting would provide you with a work shirt that requires very little care. You’ll find a blog post that discusses the variations you can try with this sewing pattern: Dinner Shirt Variations

Where do I start:
I have experimented with a few different variations for this shirt and have included them in the images for this pattern. One of my favourites is to include a contrast fabric for the yoke and to use that contrast in the under collars and back yoke lining.
