The Lantern Shirt sewing pattern has a relaxed silhouette, a very distinct raglan construction, sculpted sleeves and soft gathers at the front shoulders and across the back. It's finished with a button front and a curved hem. Choose between two sleeve styles (including voluminous lantern sleeves). Finish the neck with a classic shirt collar or a simple stand collar. The sleeve openings can be left loose with plain hems or you can add elastic to the sleeve to draw in the volume. Available in crisp cotton or a softer fabric for a more fluid shape.
