This shirt is a dream to sew with excellent instructions and beautiful details. I made a size small according to my measurements on the chart and I love the oversized fit. It's perfect in a light and airy fabric, I can throw it over any outfit.

I made the Jenna in a light weight cotton gauze and it ended up being the perfect summer shirt. I can toss it over shorts, over jeans, or wear it on its own as a swimsuit cover up. The fit and finishing details are also amazing, as you would expect from Closet Core Patterns! There are many more of these in my future!
This is a great pattern and I am enjoying sewing alongside the video. It forces me to slow down and focus. I sewed a size small and the only adjustment I made was to shorten the length by 3 inches. Learning new skills, can’t wait to make another.
The perfect pattern to learn classic shirt making techniques. I recommend it!
Finished product is lovely. Pattern is pretty easy to follow. I had sime trouble with the collar but next time i will know better what to do. Finished garment measurements were accurate snd i used a shirt i own for that measurement, also shortened the shirt to match the length of my shirt.
