Notes I will post better photos soon but I just had to share.
This pattern is gorgeous. The fit is perfect, straight away, no adjustments.
I used a fine, silky lawn.
I did make a double yoke as I prefer those and sewed it with the 'Burrito' method.
I didn't realise the cuff should have been CUT 4 as it says 1/1 so my cuffs are not as deep as suggested but it still works. (The big cuffs would look rather fabulous though)

I edge stitched the pleats to make ironing a bit easier.
The only struggle I had was the sleeve placket, I ended up with a wee raw edge on the inside (I will get a piccie of that) I covered it with a wee square of interfacing bit it does bother me a little.
Bravo Lekala, this one is lush!

    Thanks for sharing. You could tell that the pattern had to be a white fabric in order to showcase it! Beautiful.

    This is such a lovely shirt! Your model seems happy to wear it!
    I also think that double yoke looks better for a classy shirt.
