The Galen T-Shirt [pronounced Gay-Len] is a very oversized T-shirt for statement dressing. We couldn’t find a really large T-shirt for large bodies so we made one ourselves.
The shoulder is very dropped and the sleeves are wide and we played with the proportions of the sleeves so the tee looks intentional. The Galen is designed specifically for plus size bodies and View B features our curved centre-back seam to fit the curve of your upper back. View A is a single piece front and back designed for use with stripes and simple quick construction (or if you have a less pronounced curve at your upper back).
The straight hemlines make this pattern perfect for stripes and we have drafted the neckband with our no-fuss application. The T-shirt can be sewn on a serger/overlocker or entirely on a regular domestic sewing machine.
Sizes Available:
A to M (see size chart in images)
If our sizes are too small to include you, we will grade our patterns up for you. Please get in touch with us here.
Cup sizes
Where cup sizes have not been stated it's because the pattern is dart-free and has been designed to be 'cup-size flexible'. If you're unsure about what size to use, you can always email your measurements to help@munaandbroad.com for specific sizing advice.
Finished Garment Measurements:
See chart in images.
Selecting your size
Compare your Chest measurement to the Size chart above to select your base size. If your hips fall more than a size larger than your chest size, you can blend between sizes (this is often called “grading between sizes”), however we prefer not to use that term since it can be confusing. If there is only one size difference between your chest and hip size, you can probably go with the larger of the two and cut a single size, since the tee is designed to be loose and roomy. Due to the intended loose fit, you’ll see the finished measurements are larger than the size chart measurements.
Alterations in length can be easily made by shortening or lengthening at the hem.It is always recommended to sew a toile/muslin before cutting in to your 'good' fabric.
We often get asked what height our patterns are drafted for
We don’t note this on our patterns because the body’s proportions can make an overall height very misleading.
For example, you might technically be the “same height” as the draft, but you might have proportionally longer legs. In that case, a pants pattern may be very short for you. We do not subscribe to the notion of “normal bodies” and that is why we provide finished garment measurements instead of drafting height.
For all patterns (not just ours!), we always recommend comparing the finished measurements (and measurements taken from the pattern itself) to your body. Use the shorten/lengthen lines to adjust as necessary.
Suggested Fabric:
This pattern is designed to be sewn with knit fabrics, with 2-way stretch or a stable 4-way stretch. We suggest cotton jersey, cotton/spandex jersey, cotton interlock, merino jersey, merino interlock, lightweight french terry. The neckband is sewn using ribbing
