From Paper Theory:
// The contrasting pattern angles of the sleeve and body were inspired by the paintings of one of the few female members of the Russian Suprematist art movement, Olya Rozanova. //
Olya is a relaxed, loose fitting shirt with traditional details and a classic silhouette but features unusual and innovative style lines. Olya is easy to wear and designed to be a versatile wardrobe staple with longevity. Note: The PDF also includes a dress version which is not included with the Printed version (but if you buy the printed version you are more than welcome to access the PDF dress).
Techniques involved: It has all the details of a traditional Oxford Shirt, with a two piece stand and collar, a front button placket, a back yoke with a box pleat and a barrel cuff with a tailored placket and double pleat at the wrist. The cut of the sleeve is unlike a regular shirt and has no front armhole - yet does have a back armhole. This unusual geometric detail elevates the shirt into something that is interesting and design led whilst also providing some hidden shaping in the front yoke seams to accommodate your bust. The PDF dress version finishes mid calf with splits at the sides. There is also an optional belt pattern included to cinch the dress in at the waist if desired.
Recommended Fabrics: This pattern was designed for medium weight fabrics like Cotton, Linen and Flannel. Light weight fabrics like Crepe de Chine, Viscose or Georgette. It would also make up well in some heavier fabrics like Corduroy, Drill and light weight Denim. Knit or stretch fabrics like Jersey are not recommended.
Sizes: UK 6-28
