Fabric Recommendations:
Light to midweight wovens and shirtings. For a crisp, classic shirt, choose structured wovens like poplin, chambray, oxford, broadcloth, and dobby and twill shirtings. For a softer effect, choose linen, Tencel, voile, viscose, silk, or flannel.
Notions:
- Fusible interfacing, 1/2 yard (0.5 m). Choose a light to midweight woven interfacing for a softer effect. • Choose a crisp, non-woven interfacing for sturdier cuffs and collars.
- Shirt buttons, 13-15 mm wide. • 12 buttons for View A • 10 buttons for View B • 9 buttons for View C
