Notes	I've made this shirt before, but as my measurements have changed I ordered the pattern again. I forgot to measure my hips over the trousers I planned to wear it with (I prefer to do this with Lekala's fitted or semi-fitted styles, just my preference), so I ended up adding a little bit of extra ease to the hips at the side seams. I made no other changes. The fabric is a light-to-medium weight linen. If you've made a shirt with a stand collar before, it shouldn't be too hard to make. You really need to keep track of what goes left and what goes right though. My shirt got a compliment from a total stranger, so it must be a good-looking shirt!

wow it looks like your shirt should be on the cover! Great job ! I had considered a linen with wooden buttons, and I just love yours, it looks fabulous!

This is a lovely linen shirt. Well done. I am about to order the pattern thanks to you!

I love this pattern! I was just looking at your other one (the purple one) and I can not decided which on is best. They are both so stylish.

Those covered buttons make this look really professional, a lovely shirt.
A compliment from a stranger must confirm that this looks good!

That turned out really nice!
