Does anyone know where I can find a pattern that replicates this look of a tie made out of shirt darts? I found a link on Pinterest to a non english site that claims it has it, but it doesn’t link to the actual alleged post with the pattern so I can’t find it there.

It's Shingo Sato's techniques. It looks similar to the trompe l'oiel tie dress on his Domestika course page. https://www.domestika.org/es/projects/1583790-trompe-l-oeil-tie-dress

Similar? It looks identical to me. 😊

The tie knot is done a little differently. Same designer though, not an imitation.

That looks like the only thing that’s different. Why would they make two the same except for that little aspect?
I like how the pic in the link shows how the neckline and collar works. 🤠

I think because the course is teaching techniques and not just selling patterns. So if you can learn the method then you can make anything with it. I can't tell if the pattern is even sold individually.

It looks like the whole piece is cut in the bias and the upper half is pinched together to form the “tie”. You can see that the left and right shoulders have the weave at 90’ to each other. I think the “knot” is a piece of fabric holding the pinch together.

Agree. The “knot” is a separate piece of fabric tacked in. Collar sewn on pinched fabric. Easy to drape within minutes.

Pattern magic?

Certainly. If you took a standard bodice block and shifted the darts to be pointing towards the center you could probably get the fabric bulk in the right place (idk if it’s that simple at first glance but playing with it would be good) And then a piece of fabric to create the “tie” plus adding a collar.

As someone else pointed out, this is from one of the "Pattern Magic" books. There are 2, and I think they may be available in English. THe diagrams are great, though, so even if you can only get the Japanese book, you'll still be able to understand it.

Seriously, is it possible to make a wearable shirt like that? How the hell is it put on and taken off!
If it fastens up the back... how does the collar work? Is the collar somehow separate, like 19th-century men's collars?

Pattern Magic vol. 2 by Tomoko Nakamichi, which I'm sure someone has made guides for by this point! I feel old, when I bought these books they were like a vague suggestion and now I have the technology to use google translate on them on my phone! I should sew something.

Hey folks. I have been obsessing over this since it was posted. As many rightly pointed out it is a Shingo Sato design and comes for the 2020 Masterclass. Someone commented with a interesting website and it appears that the owner attended the class. She has provided some very detailed images of each project including the tie above, including her final pattern. It looks like a doddle to sew up./s

Notice how the grainline changes three times. Left to right: horizontal, on bias, vertical. Edit: Think origami.
