Untucked Shirts - Using the Jacket formula

I basically want to make some plaid dress shirts and I am wondering how exactly I should do that. I could just go and make them straight down but I really want them to be more open. If I make it like just a normal shirt people can just open them up but would it look right?

I really don't know... need some help. For men's clothing btw.

This is the tricky one best way is to draw/shape them as open..and then use the jacket template to hang over the pants..


If you let people use sliders you lose things like buttons

Yeah i think im going to make a black and white template so that later i can just add any sort of pattern i want.

The biggest challenge will be getting the pattern to match across the waist seam. The horizontal distribution of the bottom edge of the upper body is quite a bit different than the upper edge of the lower body template.

This is one of the most difficult things to do with the shirt template, as Chip mentioned, because matching a pattern with strong vertical lines between the two templates is quite tricky. (I'm assuming by plaid you mean tartan, hehe).

I tried this once with a "plaid" pattern, and gave up as it was much easier to do with a more abstract pattern.

bbbB/ALL,

I was having similar problems, hooking up 'untucked/long' shirts and such.... I haven't figured out the search/archive in these forums, but just click on my name AND 'posts by this user'... I had some decent responses to the same question.

Best Regards,
