I am Aimé is a men’s shirt, adapted to suit women. I feature all the makings of the classic men’s shirt; the button placket on the left, the tower placket at the cuff and the shirt collar, whilst adapting to more feminine styles with 3 other lengths, a slim collar and a slimmer sleeve. I have a back yoke to reinforce the shoulders, and I can be sewn with or without a centre back pleat. My curved hem shape is the perfect finishing touch to this great classic.

A sew along tutorial to sew the tower placket is available on the blog.

All fabrics used are from Metermeter. To help you make your Aimé shirt, here are the ones we used:

The cropped shirt was sewn using a purple crêpe.

For the short sleeve shirt, we used an off-white papertouch poplin.

The overshirt was sewn using a camel quilted fabric.

For the maxi-dress, we used a Tencel and cotton blend with a bit of sheer.

PAPER PATTERN

All seam allowances are included in the pattern.

The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.

The different pieces overlap with each other, so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the PDF version, as pieces do not overlap with each other.

Size 34 to 52. See sizing guide below.

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.
