Fabric Requirements:
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 and certain seam finishes which may get too bulky with more weight. It is recommended to stay under 6oz or 200gsm for the best results.
Fit Recommendation:
The MVP BD Shirt is cut straight along the sides and is meant to have a relaxed, easy fit through the body and sleeves. The bust and hip measures the same on the finished garment. Choose your size based off of your largest measurement for a very easeful shirt. Refer to the finished garment measurements for the across shoulder measurement. For a perfect fitting MVP BD Shirt, make sure the across shoulder measurement is approximately the same as your personal across shoulder measurement. The sleeves run long with the intention of cuffing them. Shorten or lengthen to your desired length using the designated shorten/lengthen line on the paper pattern. For the D-Cup size range, you may wish to adjust the dart placement according to your personal fit needs. The dart may need to be raised or lowered depending on your height and apex location.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Caring for your fabrics is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity. Here are some essential fabric care tips to make your clothing last longer and look great.
First and foremost, always check the care label on your garments. While most fabrics benefit from similar care, certain items like wool may have specific instructions. For general care, wash your fabrics in cool or cold water. Hot water can degrade fibers and cause colors to fade.
Avoid using chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric over time. Instead, choose a phosphate-free detergent. These gentle detergents clean effectively without harming your textiles.
When it comes to drying your clothes, it's best to tumble dry on a low setting. This helps prevent shrinking and unnecessary wear and tear. For the best results, dry similar colors together to avoid color transfer. If you want to maximize the longevity of your fabrics, consider line-drying your clothes. This method reduces the risk of damage from the dryer’s heat and can also save energy.
Ironing your fabrics? Always check the appropriate heat settings based on the type of fabric you are working with. Utilizing the right heat can help you avoid burns and preserve the integrity of your garments.
If you have any delicate items, laundering them in a mesh bag can provide extra protection during the wash cycle. Always be mindful of embellishments and finishes when caring for your fabrics.
Ultimately, proper fabric care ensures that your clothes continue to look fresh and new. By following these easy tips, you can enjoy your favorite garments for years to come.
