Pleated Linen Shirt by Arenda Holladay
PLEATED LINEN SHIRT BY ARENDA HOLLADAY BEYOND THE PATTERN: This simple linen shirt features a wide pleat with mirrored cables at the back. The same cables are reproduced on the sleeves and saddle shoulders. The sleeves use a modified drop shoulder styling. Shibui Linen, the recommended yarn, has a chained ply structure which produces a fabric lighter than air. The weight of the pleat in the back creates an asymmetrical edge, making the back longer than the front. There is a two-inch ease in all sizes.
