Finished Shirt Button Stand

Shirt Button Stand before Second Fitting

Shirt Button Stand after Alterations

Evaluation: The result of re-doing the button stand was extremely rewarding. I really thing the shirt has improved by leaps and bounds. It looks more like Rose's design but still fits the period. I also think it looks neater and maybe more put together. I also think as a piece in the costume store, having a full button stand, might give it a bit more range to be in many different productions. I was really pleased with how the shirt was made before the second fitting, I think technically it was put together well. However after changing the button stand I can see that it fits more as a design feature and not just a shirt.
