The Design The Hailey shirt by Experimental Space is a relaxed fit shirt with four different sleeve choices, optional front and back shaping for a semi-fitted shirt, and plenty of opportunity for pops of colour. Think button bands, collar, or yoke!
Recommended Fabrics Any light to medium weight woven fabric. Use rayon or viscose for a floaty top, or something like a cotton lawn for a breathable top that will be a bit easier to sew than the drapey fabrics. For the flutter sleeves, a drapey fabric will work best.
Supplies and Notions 10x buttons – 11.5mm // Interfacing: 90cm x 80cm
Sizing High Bust: 31″ – 55” Use your High Bust to get the best fit across your neckline and shoulders. To get your High Bust measurement, measure around your body, directly under your underarms. Fitting tips for larger busts/cup sizes: You would then do a Full Bust Adjustment (FBA) only if your full bust measurement is in a higher size category to your high bust.
