This beautiful smock-style shirt features fine, vertical pin-tucks along the front and back shoulder, along the neckline.
With a comfortable loose fit over the waist and hips that falls delicately from the pin tucks, the design also has 'on trend' billowing bishop sleeves and are brought in at the wrist with a narrow cuff. Keep the cuff simple, or add a ruffle at your chosen length.
Customise this style with several collar options - a frilly pie-crust that can be altered in height to your preference or a double layered classic collar.
In Lauren's top tips video learn how to adapt the collar to round it out and add a fancy frill. This is an additional design feature that she has added to maximise your choices when making your own version of the Marie.
