A collection of shirts

When I first saw the Tilton sisters shirt patterns, I thought they were so similar, I didn't need to get them all.  Then, I saw various ones posted on blogs and liked them.

So, I decided to make up as many as I could, staring with this Japanese cotton from Marcy's website



It fits ok, but I'm not crazy about the fabric, a cotton that really is limp after laundering.  I used just the collar stand and didn't put a pocket in, but did nothing else to a medium size.

Next, I tackled this newspaper print cotton blend from Marcy's website.

Using this pattern



It has a weird stuck-on peplum like piece, but I love this pattern.  Currently making it again in a Mood patterned navy linen print.  Soft pleated collar is a real design feature.  

Also a favorite pattern I'll make again soon in a Japanese cotton that's firmer is this pattern 

My next to the last post had this featured over the "killer green" linen knit dress.  The design feature here is the side "not a pocket"

Last but not least, a Style arc tunic shirt pattern in a double gauze fabric 

All these shirts are very comfortable to wear, but this tops them all.
