The Ms. Eliza Bennet Shirt is an easy shirt for anintermediate seamstress. From cut to finish, itusually takes me 1.5 hours to complete.
 
Print and cut the pattern pieces, matching thestraps with the appropriate sides and tape. Youmay notice that the straps
don’t
line up perfectly, just trim what
doesn’t
match up.
 
Cut pattern piecesFrom both patterned fabricand cotton lining. Take thecontrast fabric for the beltand measure and cut outbelt and belt loops. (beltshould measure 68
”
x 3
”
 and belt loops shouldmeasure 2
¼”
x 1
¾”)
 Mark the darts on the front of thebodice using a fabric marker (or felt tipped).Do not pin the darts together until you havesewn the lining to the fabric.
 
Cut out the lower bodice fabric. The frontand back should measure each 24
”
x 18
”
.This is for a longer shirt, for a shorter shirt,reduce the length to 15
”
.
You should have all this ready to iron andsew (belt loops not in the image)
