Has anyone ever modified an all-day shirt to have a camp collar?

Hello,
Does anyone have any idea why the cuffs on this all day shirt sleeve are flaring out? I’ve double checked that the interfaced cuff is facing the outside. Did I stretch the facing too much? Is there anything I can do other than recut some cuffs and facings and redo it?

Suggestions welcome!

Am I correct in assuming I should shorten in approximately the same place on the under sleeve and upper sleeve?
Thank you!

Going back to measure the pattern, the back – from the fold to top of side seam – is 12-5/8 in, total 25-1/4 inches.

The front – from the cut line to top of side…[Read more]

Do you have any suggestions for adjusting the fit of the All Day Shirt for a very slim, long body?
Thanks!
