The diamond pin-tucking (yes, those kind of diamonds) on this fabric is one of my favourite details on this shirt. I purchased this 100% cotton fabric already pin-tucked many, many moons ago from Mitchell Fabrics.
The pattern, Butterick 6324 (circa 2016), was found in a sales bin. Otherwise, I don't think I would have picked up this pattern for a simple top. I would have quite simply overlooked this one. It's a lovely pattern and I'm quite happy that I gave this one a try.
I really like the fact that there are no darts to interfere with the pin-tucking and the front fly feature gives it a nice clean finish. I switched the sleeve pattern for my favourite sleeve, cuff and placket combination from Vogue 1503.

Tips: Don't be scared off by this pattern based on Pattern Reviews that mention challenges with the front band. I didn't find the instructions for this part of the pattern to be challenging at all, perhaps it was a revised printing?
