Post Script to Shirt Search

 


This shirt has taken quite a beating, so I am sure they made it more than once.

And here is a hint as to how it's constructed



The pieces on the upper right have grain lines on them: the collar piece could be on the bias anyway.


And here's the closeup
These pages are from Pattern Magic 2, not my book, not my information. My photos of the library book (I sold my copy apparently)

Anyway, I won't be making one soon, I still have too much work, homework and helping pack up someone else's stuff. But I will.

This Shirt Is My New Obsession: Christine Wada is a genius

 

I am clearly losing my touch if I missed this last week.

To my credit, I am watching this show on a teeny laptop in my basement


(which has been a balm and a blessing during our heat wave)

not in the promo art

So we gotta take this one apart because I WANNNNNNNTTTTTT

I am trying to find photos of the back of this shirt. Pretty sure I am going to have to make my own screen grabs of this. 
But I did find this, which proves how AMAZING the costuming is on this show

Also pretty sure after an hour of sketching that I am going to have to drape this to see how to make that one seamless piece and which way the bias is running on it to get it to drape that nicely. That's a woven shirting fabric.


This post will be continued. Any ideas or suggestions, lemme know in the comments. If you know anyone with any intelligence on this shirt PLEASE pass my query along.
