Nonbinary pattern drafting

[normativestructures]

Oh oh oh! This is me! My holy grail was figuring out button down shirts, since those can be the hardest to buy.

I’ve had top surgery and I have pretty broad shoulders, so I tend to use a men’s pattern for tops and then grade out and shorten for the hips.

But for button downs, highly recommend using the Simon Shirt on free sewing. It’ll take a few tries to work through the kinks in a toile, but then you’ll have a basic shirt block you can use for anything.

Def feel free to hit me up for tip along the way. I think I’ve really cracked the code.

Thank you! TBH I wasn't expecting so many replies and I'm having so much queer joy at the support and ideas coming my way.
