Dress shirt collar pattern
Men's Shirt Sew-Along 12 -- A new collar for Negroni: PART 2
Friends, yesterday I discussed how to create a new facing and front button placket for the Negroni shirt pattern. We are turning the casual Negroni shirt into a traditional dress shirt. Now that you know how to draft your right front facing and left front button placket, it's time to address the collar stand and collar.Our goals for today are:
1. Draft collar stand and collar pattern pieces
2. Attach yokes to shirt using the "burrito method"
3. Staystitch neckline and measure
1. There are a number of ways to draft a collar stand and collar: 1) You can start from scratch and, using various formulas found in books like David Coffin's Shirtmaking, draft your own; 2) You can find a shirt with a collar stand and collar you like, trace these onto pattern paper and add seam allowances; or 3) You can choose the collar stand and collar pieces from a commercial dress shirt pattern you already own.
I am going to focus on #2.
I choose a Brooks Brothers shirt whose collar fits comfortably. I trace it.
There are a few ways to do this. You can use tracing paper and a tracing wheel. I found I had to press down very hard to do this successfully, given the thickness of my collar seams. (Should I have used a needle-pointed wheel?) You only have to trace half the collar and collar stand (We'll cut these on the fold).
The piece you trace may end up being slightly longer or shorter than what you'll need from Negroni, but we'll take that into account when we cut our fabric.
Now I only need to add seam allowances.
Another way to do this is to trace from above with tracing paper and a marker. I found this much easier than using the tracing wheel. Just be sure your pen doesn't bleed onto your shirt, please. Make sure your shirt pieces are laying flat and that you're tracing accurately.
After you're done, compare your traced stand and collar to the original. Is the shape the same? If not, make corrections.
There are a few points you want to mark on collar the stand pattern piece: 1) the center front line (marked cf in my photo), 2) The point where collar stand and collar meet, and 3) the point where collar stand and front placket meet (this matters on the left side more than the right).
For those of you unfamiliar with stands and collars, it might also be helpful to mark on each pattern piece which is the top edge (attached to the collar), and which is the bottom (attached to the neckline).

I agree
2003-06-12 12:45:32 by it_a_matter_of_tasteI use Burberry as an accessory such as a purse, umbrella, or a shirt with a collar done in it. I once saw a 20ish woman wearing flowing taffeta evening dress completely done in the Nova Check plaid and to my surprise it looked great on her.
As far as it being "out" it is a classic and classics are never out. Burberry HQ is not really happy about the faddishness of the pattern or its new found place in the world of hip hop (lil' Kim). Over the past few years they have made efforts to greatly reduce the amount of plaid used in their lines.It's really just their trademark and not what they are all about
Some ideas
2003-06-01 11:09:38 by EshtaDefiniely basics you can build on. The rule of thumb is to base your wardrobe on neutral colors (such as white, camel, black, gray, chocolate or navy), then spice up your outfits with colorful pieces.
A good twinset or two (a lightweight tank sweater with a matching cardigan) in flattering colors will go well with pants or skirts and goes from day to evening quickly by removing the sweater and adding a sexier jewelry/bag/shoes.
A little black dress.
A little red (or purple or cobalt or emerald or whatever) dress for when you know everyone else in the room will be wearing a little black dress

I know that gender roles are determined by culture and, people make up a culture in a society but,nobody seems to be able to answer the question that, "who in our society determines what gender role is assigned to what gender?Is it the rich 'elite' men, the majority?who?
It's not that simple. No one individual or group is that powerful.
People don't "make up culture." Culture occurs by a process of accumulation results from the habits and lifestyle of millions of people. …r /> Are you looking for a conspiracy or an all powerful big brother. Most often, they don't exist, except in communist/socialist dictatorships.
By the way, why not capitalize "god" in your avatar name?

...Fernando Valley?
My son has to dress up in a shirt and tie once a week. Once I get pants that fit around his waist, they are ridiculously baggy on his legs and a foot or two too long. Does no one make "Dockers" type pants for overweight boys? "Husky" sizes aren't husky enough, it seems. I prefer fairly local, so we can try them on.
...so that makes it harder to help you. My son is beyond husky also. What we do is go to WalMart, to the men's department, and get him Dickies from there in tan, black or navy. He wears a 36 to 38 waist but has a 27 inch …ny pants that go up to a 44-inch waist. the longest inseam is 30 inches so you still may have to hem the pants by a few inches. They tell you how to measure your son so you can get the right size.
Good luck!

I'm having a huge dilemma. Well, for one thing, I DETEST shopping with the fiery passion of a thousand red hot flaming suns...but that's beside the point. I've recently lost close to 30 pounds.

Sooo..Obama used the motto of a children's educational cartoon. Get it now?
There are a few different options out there. I've had problems finding men's jeans my size for a long time. I'm 5 foot 2 with an inseam of 26 inches.
