How To Make Men’s Dress Shirt Pattern_Body [Pattern Making Tutorial]

A dress shirt is often accompanied by a tie. So the shirt's neck fits very well with the model. There’s not so much room. The length is pretty long because it's meant to be tucked into pants. You can draft really boxy or fitted by how much ease you have. You can apply this method to women’s shirts as well.
In this video, I show you how to draft a dress shirt's body patterns from scratch.

hello there please i want to know am goinf to add seam allowances before sewing it been already

[@TomDick-bl5yz]

Hi, sorry to sound really stupid as I’m not a trained pattern maker and I’m still learning. Your videos are amazing and really informative. Very clear to understand. However, please can you advise - do I need to add seam allowance to this pattern once it is created following your tutorial instructions please?
Or can it just be placed straight onto the fabric to cut out and then sew pieces together?
Thank you for your help or any comments.
All the best 🧵👍🏼😙

[@PatternStudio101]

Hi, none of my pattern tutorials include seam allowance. So you have to add seam allowance after you draft the pattern with my instructions.

[@elnazmoghanlou2509]

Hello, my dear teacher...do we need to close the loop in the drawing of the patterns? Especially in the pattern with pins...like closing the loop of the stein ring and the neck? Thank you, you are the best.

[@mrsm1437]

hi there, i really love the way you teach, i have one question about arm hole depth, as you said chest circumference /5 + 3" , is the chest measurement included with ease or the actual measurement?

[@PatternStudio101]

It doesn’t really matter, but Ii you have a small ease, you can calculate with ease. If you have a lot of ease then calculate without ease.

[@mrsm1437]

[@Sunshine1364]

Hi! Was curious if I still would come down 3/4 of an inch down the armhole, if I don’t add in the tuck? With the dart being 1/4 of an inch, I assume I may want to drop more, possibly a whole inch instead to compensate. Thanks.

[@PatternStudio101]

I don’t think I understand your question. Can you explain more detailed?

[@Naturspired]

Hi! I’m not sure if I missed it but could you let me know the cutting instructions? I know cut 2 front and the yoke on fold but is it 2 yoke? Or just one? Thank you 😊

[@PatternStudio101]

There’s no fixed rule for that. You can make double layers for the yoke. But if the fabric is thick, 1 layer would be okay too.

[@PatternStudio101]

Hi, I have videos on how to make men’s blazer!

[@NemoNAzad]

Dear Jin, Once again, thank you very much for your great lessons.
May I understand when you add 3" to half of the chest, the total ease is 6", right?
Can I apply this lesson's instruction to draft loose fit coats with the range of ease between 8 to 12 inches?
Thank you. 🙏

[@PatternStudio101]

Yes, 3" on half body, so 6" in total.
And depending on your coat design or silhouette, you can apply this method.
You can start with 8-12" ease, but I can't say about that. It really depends on the fit you want! It will be more like jacket because the sleeve cap height is pretty low.

[@NemoNAzad]

Thank you very much. Well noted. Yes, the silhouette is boxy and straight-ish. More or less the same shape of the brown coat in your pdf file for armhole depth and sleeve cap height on your website.
Thank you.

[@Artful.wanderings]

Thank you for great videos. How can I make a shirt for someone who i can't have his measurements? I wonder if there's a size chart for men on your website?

[@MuhammadSami-ql8eq]

Hello ma'am I have learned your pattern, now I need a software where I design it kindly favour me about.

[@PatternStudio101]

The software I use is PAD Share.

[@marilyntopp4416]

Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I don't get why you cut 1"(width) from the CF shoulder seam. And you add it to the CB shoulder seam. That means the shoulder CB will go over to the front. As shown in your example. At the cross back of CB is (Ex. 9") Will be the same as CF minus 1/2". I find the length is short to transfer to CB's shoulder. So I did not minus 1/2". CB's shoulder length should be the same length as CF's?. Thank you for your immediate response.

[@PatternStudio101]

Depending on posture, armhole depth of front and back can be the same. But for the normal posture, front armhole depth is a little bit shorter than the back armhole depth.
And if you want to have the shoulder seam on the right shoulder line, you don’t have to move 1” out from the front to the back. That’s the design line.

[@fififleura964]

@@PatternStudio101 ok thank you so mush

[@NemoNAzad]

Dear Jin, If I drop the shoulder 2 inches (instead of your half-inch example), do I still have to use the midpoint of the dashed cross back guide line to draw the armhole? If yes, the curve is a bit too curvy. Is it ok? Thank you.

[@PatternStudio101]

Hi, normally, when you drop the shoulder, your cross chest and chest will be bigger accordingly. So your armhole curve becomes less curvy. Is that make sense?

[@NemoNAzad]

@@PatternStudio101 Thank you so much. Yes, perfectly. So, if I drop the shoulder for 2 inches, I better add 1 or 1.5 inches to the cross back to keep the armhole curve shape not too distorted.

[@babzyno5864]

But Jin, what if the waist is bigger than the chest? Wouldn’t I divide the paper into 2 using the waist measurement rather. Cos I think it would be ill-fitting for one with a big stomach. What’s your take?

[@PatternStudio101]

Hi, you can make chest with waist measurement. Or you can make the pleat at the CB bigger and revise the side seam to get wider instead of straight.
