The Jenna Shirt is an classic shirt with a slouchy, over sized silhouette and all the polished elements you'd expect, along with the well thought-through details you get with a Closet Core pattern!
The bodice has a loose fit with a drop shoulder and long sleeve. This is finished with a traditional, satisfying to sew tower placket and a deep cuff. The neckline has a classic collar and collar stand, which are sewn with a really interesting construction technique that gives an excellent finish.
The back features a deep yoke with an optional delicate hanging loop. At the hem there's options for either a deeply curved and exaggerated hem, or a straight one that hits at the high hip. The longer length also features a hem gusset which adds a lovely detail to the shirt. Wear the longer shirt untucked over jeans, knotted at the waist or tucked in for a chic look. The cropped view pairs well with high-waisted bottoms but would also made a cute layering piece over delicate dresses.
Jenna is a menswear inspired shirt, but in the gorgeous Vintage Bauhaus viscose crepe fabrics the shirt has a real feminine edge. Lauren has designed these limited edition fabrics in collaboration with Rachel Parker and they are buttery soft, giving the shirt a real elegance and luxury.
The Jenna shirt is garment that will quickly become a special item in your wardrobe, but you'll want to make over and over in all the fabrics!
The kits include enough fabric to make either the cropped or longer shirt.
Our exclusive Bauhaus Slopes viscose was created by Lauren in collaboration with surface pattern designer Rachel Parker and is a part of the first instalment of our brand new and exclusive Vintage Bauhaus Fabric collection!
The ‘Bauhaus Skiers’ print is available in ice blue and snow white and sees skiers zooming down the mountain, and over snow mounds, giving a classic snowy slope scene!
The design is printed onto a subtly textured 100% viscose crepe. It has a super soft and silky handle and ever so slightly textured surface. This gives the fabric a gentle and luxurious sheen that catches the light, bringing the print to life. At 108gsm, its weight gives a really elegant feel to the shirt and helps to showcase the pattern's details.
Each kit also includes a length of plain weave cream viscose for lining the inner yoke of the shirt.
