Almost Shirt

The little summer blouse that goes with everything, easy to sew and beautifully finished - this is it! The Almost Shirt take inspiration from classic men's shirts, with its cuffed sleeve hems, straight cut, and soft collar. But don't be fooled, the volume, length and shaping darts transform it into a truly charming blouse that will quickly become a staple in your handmade wardrobe. And if you are after a more pared back look, you can also create a collarless version for a clean and modern look.
