The MVP BD Shirt works best in light to mid-weight woven materials. Think crisp cotton shirting or airy high-quality linen. A silky fabric would also yield a beautiful MVP BD Shirt, but may result in a more challenging sewing experience. Lightweight flannel or wool would work well for this design, but be careful not to go too heavy as the pattern includes an invisible placket which may get too bulky with more weight.

The fabric requirements listed above include a 5% allowance for shrinkage. Keep in mind that if you are using a printed fabric or a material that must be cut in one direction, your fabric requirements may be higher.

The MVP BD Shirt is cut very straight in the body. The bust, waist, and hip measurements are all the same on the finished garment. Choose your size based off of your largest measurement or check out the MVP BD Shirt – Shaped version for additional fit options. Refer to the finished garment measurements for the cross shoulder measurement. For a perfect fitting MVP BD Shirt, make sure the cross shoulder measurement is approximately the same as your personal cross shoulder measurement. The sleeves run long with the intention of cuffing them. Shorten to your desired length using the designated line on the paper pattern.

The MVP BD Shirt – Shaped is cut with an angle at the side seams to give more ease around the hips. Choose your size based off of your largest measurement. If you prefer a straight cut shirt, check out the MVP BD Shirt version for additional fit options. Refer to the finished garment measurements for the cross shoulder measurement. For a perfect fitting MVP BD Shirt, make sure the cross shoulder measurement is approximately the same as your personal cross shoulder measurement. The sleeves run long with the intention of cuffing them. Shorten to your desired length using the designated line on the paper pattern.
