      Something a little different
    Reviewed by Mary (✓ Verified Buyer) on 12/02/2023
    I loved the ruffled collar of this shirt and I wanted to use a fun print for it -- it worked out great! If I made another, which I may well do, I would use a smaller bust size (I used the C but should have gone with the smaller).

      A fantastic pattern
    Reviewed by Fiona Johnson (✓ Verified Buyer) on 01/21/2021
    I have been looking for a good shirt pattern to use as a staple and came across the Recital shirt. I was a little concerned it might be too fitted, but it was perfect. It had plently of room but was still well shaped. Size: 12 at the bust graded to 16 at the hip. Changes I made: replaced the tuxedo collar with the Classic Shirt collar, shortened the overall length by 5cm and increased the bicep girth by 2cm (a standard adjustment for me). I will make a forward shoulder adjustment of 1cm at the sleeve head grading to zero at the neckline before I make it again. I already have the ruffled collar version cut out and can't wait to get sewing. I'm really happy to have found this pattern. It is everything I was hoping for.

      Love this pattern
    Reviewed by Lis Taylor (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/08/2019
    I have made quite a few shirts but I liked the idea of the princess seams for added interest and shaping. I also loved the ruffle at the collar. I might make the pin tucked version another time. I made the size according to my measurements and it fits perfectly although I might shorten the overall length. Followed the instructions and used a mixture of french seams and my overlocker to finish seams but used the ‘burrito ‘ method for the yoke which I find gives a neat finish. All in all delighted.

      Recital Shirt
    Reviewed by Nan (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/12/2018
    I've made button-up shirts before, but Liesl's instructions are by far the BEST I have ever read. Very clear, concise and well-illustrated. A beautiful shirt that I am proud to wear. Can't wait to make more.

      Will become a staple in my pattern collection
    Reviewed by KM (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/03/2018
    I had previously bought the classic shirt pdf, and was very happy with the clear, detailed instructions and the really nice details in the construction. I've now added the recital shirt to my collection, and made it up in a view B. The pleats were easier than I expected and the shirt is so polished. I want to use view A next. As a relatively new sewist I really appreciate the detailed instructions!

      Great shirt pattern!
    Reviewed by Anne-Sophie (✓ Verified Buyer) on 01/01/2018
    This pattern is fantastic! The shirt looks really professional, it has all the little details that a shirt should have. The instructions are crystal clear. I went on the website for tutorials and parts of the sewalong. It was really helpfull. Even if this is a 3 cisors pattern, you don’t feel it’s so difficult since every step is explained in detail. The fit is perfect and there is enough room to feel comfortable. It’s really important to sew a quick muslin to check the size and the length.

      Fabulous fitted shirt!
    Reviewed by Tina Thomas (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/16/2017
    I was so pleased to see this pattern released as it has every little detail that I've been craving for in a shirt pattern. I sewed version A in a size 2 and its perfect. All of the details and instructions make this a pattern that stands out from all other shirt patterns and is certainly going to be used many times by me. Thank you for all of the hard work that's gone into the production of this pattern and your other shirt pattern releases - I love it!
