Seamwork Roan oversized shirt

Seamwork's Roan is an oversized shirt. As basically two sloped (for the shoulders) rectangles, with all the trimmings (collar, collar stand, front plankets, cuffed sleeves with more plankets, and so many buttons), it's a piece you can practice all the details on, while not having to worry about the fit.

(My pattern drafting book says blouses have bust darts, shirts don't, which seems to be the only official difference. Does this mean that all princess seamed buttoned tops are or aren't shirts? We may never know.)
