| Does anyone know where I can find a so-called French Sailor shirt for women in the U.S? |
|
But with long, not 3/4 length. sleeves? Black with white stripes?
Seems simple enough, but I can't seem to find one of these damn things anywhere (well, almost. I did see one at a boutique website but it was tight and long (fitting over the model's butt).
I just want the classic shirt. LL Bean changed theirs from long sleeved to 3/4 length, otherwise it would be perfect...
I figure that the "wisdom of crowds" here at DU would yield something...

| 3. Yup. Ralph Lauren has one, called a "Jane" shirt! |
|
It comes in charcoal/cream and is neatly finished at the wrist (e.g. not a sweatshirt). My daughter's house is near a great mall that has nicer stores and perhaps one of its stores has the Lauren line.
Thanks!

Pattern drafting is a very useful skill. I learned that from a book.

|
Easy to make.
I thought you were talking about sailor collars. Like the American Navy wears.
