The Garçonne is a shirtdress or a buttoned-down shirt with a boxy fit (no bust darts) and minimal detailing. Garçonne features a mandarin collar, a back yoke, and cuffed sleeves with a small split. Why steal from your boyfriend's wardrobe when you can sew your own Garçonne!
“The yoke construction is genius, I tried this method once before but it didn't work for me. The instructions and diagrams are clear and the yoke worked out first time: I gave a little squeal of joy when I turned it out!
This pattern has the correct amount of techniques to challenge the sewist without being tedious. A very enjoyable & satisfying sew ”
" If I were just starting out, I would appreciate having a pattern like this that showed me how to do a stand collar, basic sleeve plackets, and a button band without a separate piece (much easier to pattern match). Also love the burrito yoke method! It was my first time trying that, and your instructions were very easy to follow - I was successful at my first attempt! "
