'Julie Andrews' inspo SHIRT REVEAL | B6571 retro pattern | Vintage inspired CAPSULE WARDROBE

Using the same shirt retro/vintage sewing pattern that I used for my Audrey Hepburn jacket, I created a fitted shirt out of what was essentially a loose 'boxy' unfitted shirt pattern. I wanted to use this pattern so that the collars on the shirt and the jacket would work well together so that I could wear the jacket over the blouse. I had a few fitting issues as the shoulders on the shirt pattern were too broad (or my shoulders are too narrow!) and I also added cuffs on the sleeves for more detail. I made the sleeves a bit longer than on the pattern as well as I prefer that length on me.
I have almost finished the skirt that goes with this shirt , making it visually look like a shirtwaist dress, but I had a few issues with the pleating so I decided to make that a seperate video so that this one was not too long! I will put that video up next week and reveal the whole 'Julie Andrews' look.
The inspiration for this look is the curtain outfits that Maria makes in The Sound of Music for the children. I love the floral patterned fabric, and with the full skirt, it just reminded me of that scene in the movie :-)
That is 'Suit C' from my vintage inspired capsule wardrobe plan • Fabric Haul | Vintage ... .

I am finding this series very inspirational, thank you. I’ve been through my wardrobe, & now I realise why I can’t find an outfit to wear - I didn’t have a capsule!! I’m also motivated to sew my own clothes again! Love it 😊

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Wonderful! That's great news 😊

[@elisestewart5416]

That shirt looks fabulous with the suit. I am really enjoying this series

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you so much 😊

Another fun video! When it comes to Warp and Weft, in college we were taught a really easy trick that stuck with me: the weft goes from “weft to right”. Haven’t forgotten it since! Also, for your trousers, maybe they could be called “Katherine” after Katherine Hepburn, who was famous for her trousers.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 That's very helpful! Yes, that was exactly what I was thinking - Katherine Hepburn trousers 😊

Love, Love the style of the Julie! I was trying to make/draft a shirtdress just like the picture you have, I couldn't figure out the pleats yesterday so I am going to start this morning again. You do such beautiful work, can't wait to see the skirt with the blouse together! Cheers!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you so much 😊 I hope it was helpful. It took me a bit of head scratching as well 🤣 Wait till you see the drama I had with the skirt pleats!!

The Julie Shirt x Audrey Jacket combination looks so chic! And yes, procrastination at the spectre of buttonholes. I know that one. I experience it both in sewing and knitting. Picking up button bands is tedious enough on a knitted cardigan but having to work out the distribution of the holes after I've merrily modified the pattern length to suit my body is that extra barrier to getting the garment finished.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Ha ha! I'm the same with button bands too 🤣

[@velvetvert9431]

That shirt is utterly delicious. I do love the way the cuffs can be turned up or down. It's very chic.
