Concept
The project is founded on the interplay between humanity, the atmospheric element, and technical construction. The voluminous blue form above the shoulders resembles a sail catching the movement of the air. The white shirt serves as a casual continuation of this image, retaining its color and graphic accents.
The orange line unifies the elements of the look: on the voluminous structure, it appears as ribbons and fastenings, and on the shirt, it highlights the collar, pockets, button placket, and cuffs.
Product and Visualization
The shirt is crafted in a loose, straight silhouette featuring long set-in sleeves and a soft shoulder line. The garment hits the upper hips and is designed to be worn untucked.
Two large patch pockets with open entrances and rounded bottom corners are positioned on the chest. An orange trim runs along their sides and bottom edges. The symmetrical placement of the pockets forms the primary composition of the front.
The back maintains a serene surface. In the complete form, ribbons of a volumetric structure are positioned across it.

Technical Documentation
The first sample is to be developed in the base size M with allowances for a relaxed fit. The size range will be established after fitting checks and structural approval.
The front panel, back, and sleeves are cut from white shirting fabric, taking into account the grain line direction. The pattern pieces include the front, back, sleeves, collar, cuffs, patch pockets, and center placket.
Preliminary measurements of the finished product:
Bust circumference of garment: 116 cm; Bottom circumference of garment: 116 cm; Back length of garment: 70 cm; Shoulder width: 49 cm; Sleeve length from shoulder seam: 61 cm; Cuff height: 6 cm; Breast pocket size: 15 × 18 cm.
The contrast trim is executed with a narrow orange piping. Its visible width must remain uniform across straight sections and curves. The insertion method will be specified on test samples.
The pockets are finished along the top edge and then attached to the front panels. Special attention is paid to symmetry, the smoothness of the bottom corners, and securing the pocket openings.
Assembly is performed on a straight stitch machine, with open edges finished with overlocking. The shoulder and side seams must maintain a flat surface without puckering.
The concealed closure is designed using flat, shirt-style buttons. For the cuffs, sleeve slits and fastenings are provided, the placement of which will be finalized during pattern making.
The bottom of the garment is finished with a turned-over seam with a closed edge. After assembly, the garment undergoes wet and heat finishing and is checked for fit, part symmetry, and the quality of the contrast trim.
