More About This Pattern

The Bib Shirt is a softly structured blouse designed around a distinctive front bib detail. The silhouette is relaxed yet refined, making it suitable for everyday wear as well as more considered styling.

Two neckline finishes are included. The keyhole opening offers a clean, minimal look and includes two facing options: a full self-facing cut in the main or lining fabric, or a smaller, more discreet facing. The collar version features a structured placket, optional buttons and buttonholes, and a classic collar, creating a more defined and tailored look. The choice can be guided by fabric weight and desired finish.

Both versions share the same core shape and sleeve, allowing the style to be interpreted in a range of fabrics - from crisp cottons, chambrays, and linens to softer drapey cloths - creating garments that feel timeless and versatile.
