VERNON SHIRT • Pattern
By CASHMERETTE, the Vernon Shirt is a paper sewing pattern.
Garment Details: Reclaim the button-up with the Vernon Shirt! This boob-friendly take on the essential button-up shirt features two views: View A is a classic shirt with a traditional collar and collar stand, and full sleeves with narrow cuffs. View B is a fashion-forward version with a dramatic collar, covered button placket, and lantern sleeves with wide cuffs.
From flannel work shirts to posh statement tops, the Vernon can do it all—and with cup sizes from C–H, thoughtfully placed bust darts, and side seam shaping, you’ll get a fabulous fit from collar to hem.
Sizing: This is a multi-sized pattern in US sizes 0-16 or 12-32, in three cup sizes (C/D, E/F, G/H) and standard or full bicep sleeves in the 12-32 pattern. Find your size in seconds using Cashmerette's size calculator. Finished garment measurements & fabric requirements can be found here.
