Pattern

Masculine elegance meets Maison Fauve style: the SCALA shirt draws inspiration from the charm of Italian tailoring.

With its sharp-pointed oversized collar and wide stitched pleats at the front, SCALA is all about refined detail. A soft round pleat adds movement at the back, while its straight, timeless cut and slightly dropped shoulder create an effortlessly chic silhouette. A collarless version, finished neatly with bias binding, is also included in the pattern.
If you already own the pattern, the updated files — including the additional piece and revised instruction booklet — have been automatically added to your customer account.

UK Size: from 6 to 24 (34 to 52), for a height of 1m65. The finished garment measurements chart is available in the product photos.

Sewing Level: Intermediate. Key techniques in this pattern include: stitching pleats, sewing a shirt collar, using the burrito method for a clean yoke finish, assembling a two-piece sleeve with a sleeve vent, and attaching a cuff.
