THE BUTANO BUTTON UP • Pattern

By FRIDAY PATTERN CO, The Butano Button Up is a paper sewing pattern.

Garment Details: The Butano Button Up is both an understated essential and the ultimate styling workhorse in your wardrobe! The Butano has a relaxed fit with enough ease to feel effortless without being entirely oversized. It comes with options to be sewn with short sleeves or long sleeves with a bound placket and cuff.

The optional neckerchief runs through belt loops on the collar stand and can be worn in a bunch of different ways. The shirt also features bust darts, a back pleat, collar stand, and a cute chest patch pocket.

The instructions feature clever construction to make the trickier aspects of sewing a button up achievable for the confident beginner!

Sizing: This is a multi-size pattern, including sizes sizes XS/0 - 7X/32 (32”/81cm -60”/152cm chest).  Sizing information, fit notes, finished garment measurements and fabric requirements can be found here.

Fabric Suggestions: The Butano Button Up is designed for woven fabrics. Any sort of light to medium weight woven is suitable. If you choose a fabric like a mid-weight twill or denim you will get a more structured top. If you choose a drapier fabric like a rayon challis or silk, you will get a blousier top.
