Ok i waited a week to bump this back up. do i need to buy a suit and then tear apart the shirt to get a pattern and then adjust for a female? OR does anyone please have a pattern for them?

Nope. I don't use patterns--I cut them as I need them. You can do the same. Look at your dress shirt and see the pieces that make it. Now trace your figure onto a paper towel, and draw a pattern beyond the figure's lines you have just traced. Dress shirts usually have 7 pieces, 11 if you sew cuffs. Since Mego scale is so small, sometimes it doesn't make sense to have a two-sided cuff unless you are able to find some real thin fabric.

Here's what I would do:
2 sleeves
1 collar (front side, back side--that's 2 pieces)
L front
R front
1 back
2 cuffs (front side, back side--that's 4 pieces)

If the dress shirt is going to go under a jacket, you could cheat and skip the cuffs altogether.

This is so going beyond my skill level into very dangerous territory!

Hmmmm....

You could always use the top part from the superhero bodysuit pattern, extend it straight past the waist a bit, and sew it up backwards. Slap on a folded rectangle sewn at the ends for a collar.

Sometimes I don't even put sleeves on if it's going under a jacket. (Shhhhh. Prof X doesn't know)

Hmmm, if the shirt is going under a suit or a jacket, it could just be a dickie with a collar and a false front with a seam, slightly overlapped to make it *look* like a full shirt. It also reduces the bulkiness and allows your figure more arm mobility (only one layer of cloth covering the arms and shoulders instead of two). A dickie can have a bit of elastic that goes under the crotch and up the back to prevent it from riding up.

As long as it looks good from the front, nobody has to know it's a dickie and not a whole shirt!

Actually, it has to be a whole shirt worn over a bodice. i'm trying for All-Star Squadron's Firebrand, both of them brother and sister/ wearing thin sheer pink shirts. i got thye pink material, now to get cutting and sewing.
