1946 Lavender Flannel Shirt

Yesterday I cut out my winter flannel shirt finally. I bought the fabric a few years ago, so of course, I don't remember where it came from. It's a lovely double-brushed lavender cotton flannel and I'm hoping to make it into this:



I traced the original pattern and sized up to my normal size, plus lengthened the body and the sleeve, increased the shoulder and back width, and did a Full-Bust Adjustment. The pattern calls for shoulder pads, but I won't be using them - I have very broad shoulders as it is and don't need the football player look. (The 80's were fashion hell for me.)
