Graded up from a small block, it isn't — so every time you put it on you are wrestling it over your shoulders, and every time you take it off you are doing it again. The armhole makes it worse: cut where the pattern says, it binds at the upper arm, and the first time you reach up the entire shirt lifts off your waistband and stays there. Then there is the summer problem — you want long sleeves for the sun, but if the sleeve is narrow you can't push them up when the heat arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarguerite is cut to remove all three. The body is genuinely wide and the armhole drops deep towards the waist, so it goes over your head with nothing to fight and reaching raises the sleeve instead of the hem. The sleeves are cut roomy at the upper arm and finished with a contrast cuff that is meant to be turned back and left there. The artwork — a drawn hand, sunflowers, daisies and hand-lettered words on blocks of yellow, apricot and cream — is spread across the whole front rather than sitting as a small motif on the chest, so it reads as a piece of artwork at any size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide body with a deep dropped armhole:\u003c\/strong\u003e it goes on over your head without a fight, which is where most popovers fail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBatwing sleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e reaching moves the sleeve, not the hem, so it stays where you put it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoomy sleeves with a contrast turn-back cuff:\u003c\/strong\u003e wide enough at the upper arm to roll and stay rolled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustration spread across the whole front:\u003c\/strong\u003e not a small chest motif that has to land in one specific place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved high-low hem:\u003c\/strong\u003e longer at the centre front and back, shorter at the sides.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHalf placket with a soft pointed collar:\u003c\/strong\u003e open or closed at the throat, neither position pulls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFit note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxy and oversized by design — take your usual size.
