The Robert Pattern includes instructions for making a button down dress shirt (short or long sleeve), shorts, and pants. This relaxed style of elastic pants can be adapted into short and optional pockets added. The dress shirt features a collar that can be made pointed or rounded with long or short sleeves. The Robert Pattern is of moderate difficulty, ideal for the confident beginner. Sizes range from 6 months to 6 years.

It is recommended that you use lightweight fabric such as broadcloth, lawn, or linen for the shirt and light to medium weight fabric such as broadcloth, corduroy, linen, pique, or velveteen for the shorts/pants.
