Description
The Pierce Shirt is an oversized shirt that nods to the classic button-up, with engaging construction and details that set it apart. The Pierce Shirt is a modern reinterpretation of an everyday wardrobe staple. The asymmetric pintuck detailing adds texture and interest without removing the classic feeling of the shirt.
The design of the Pierce shirt utilizes zero-waste pattern-cutting techniques and features interlocking pattern pieces that come together to create a whole. While the goal of designing a zero-waste garment is to use all the required fabric, some layouts may have minimal material remaining to accommodate a wide range of sizes.
