Sewing Tip
The shirt in this pattern has quite a lot of wearing ease built into it, to provide plenty of moving-around room for the women on the factory assembly lines of the 1940s. You may not need such a roomy garment, so you might want to cut one size smaller than you usually would. Before you cut, pin the front, back, and yoke tissue pieces together along the side and shoulder seams. Fold under the center front along the self-facing line and carefully try on this half-body tissue sample to get an idea of the fit. Even better, make a quick muslin test of the whole pattern to be sure which size will be best for you.
