Oversized Button-Up Shirt Sewing Pattern

Pattern overview

Oversized Button-Up Shirt Sewing Pattern

This oversized button-up shirt combines relaxed proportions with classic shirt-making details for an easy, versatile wardrobe piece.

The roomy silhouette provides generous ease through the body, while the traditional collar and full front button closure give the design a clean, structured finish. A patch pocket adds a practical detail at the chest, and the long sleeves are finished with buttoned cuffs.

The softly curved hem enhances the relaxed shape and allows the shirt to be worn loose, partially tucked or layered over tops and dresses. Its oversized proportions make it comfortable for everyday wear while maintaining the familiar structure of a classic shirt.

The pattern is designed for woven fabrics and is suitable for beginners.

This is a digital PDF sewing pattern. The pattern includes sizes XS–XL and files for A4, US Letter and A0 printing, together with sewing instructions.
