This last fall I had the opportunity to do a pretest for the Perfect Play Henley. Just the pretest version has become my younger three kids favorite shirt. *NOTE*: this is the pretest version.
One of our other favorite options is the faux layered sleeve. This kid gets hot really easy, so layering typically doesn't happen with him. But, he likes how the layered shirts look. The faux layer gives him that option without the extra layer.
The Perfect Play Henley also comes with a banded, hemmed or lined hood, faux long (or short) sleeves or regular short sleeves, AND it can be hemmed at the bottom or banded!
Those are A LOT of options for a shirt and it comes in so many sizes!
This is a size 16, however it has a size range from 2-22. That means all of my kids ranging from the 9 year-old to the 16 year-old fit in this pattern. That's always a plus!
Now for the details!

They love that they can "match" and yet not look identical at the same time. I love that I can add some extra details and make it "girly" for my very girly daughter and "cool" for the high schooler who typically wouldn't be caught dead in mom-made clothes. He actually wears this top regularly. When he first wore it to school he kept getting asked what store he got it at because it was so "cool"! I *may* have been a tad bit tickled that he was so happy to be wearing something I had made him.
The pattern has changed a little since pretesting. The bodice top has been moved down as you can see in the picture below, which means it doesn't sit at an irritating spot on the kids...that's a WIN!
Another change is the pocket; rather than doing a traditional kangaroo pocket, this fun BIG pocket has been added as an option! If you can't tell from the pictures, he LOVES the pocket. He kept telling me all of the amazing animals he plans to store in it because it's so big.
