Townsend Shirt
The Townsend Shirt is a modern take on the button up shirt. Both views feature grown on sleeves and wrap ties inbuilt into the front bodice. These ties cross over the button stand at the waist, to be tied at the back.
View A has a classic collar at the neckline, while View B has a round neck with a bound finish.

Fitting Notes
This pattern has been drafted for a height of 5’7.
Unlike my other patterns, this pattern does not have different cup size options. This is due to the shape of the front bodice block being opened up to incorporate the wrap ties. An array of cup sizes should fit this design comfortably.

I recommend making a toile first to work out any fitting alterations you may need, before cutting into your chosen fabric. Make sure to use a fabric with a similar weight and drape to your chosen fabric.
