Children's Corner Patterns : Robert

Robert is a classic button-down shirt and flat front shorts or pants suitable for all adventures. Styled with a front chest pocket and an open revere collar, the preppy shirt gives a more relaxed look while preserving a classic silhouette. The one-piece collar can be made pointed or rounded for a softer look. Choose from short sleeves or long, cuffed sleeves with a placket. The versatile, tailored shorts and pants have a flat front waistband, elastic in the back, and can be made unlined or fully lined with optional pockets.
