My finished Tudor Pie-Crust shirt

Here is my finished Tudor Pie-Crust shirt!











This is the first garment I've made for the costume store and a good one to get me started. I don't feel fazed now about making a shirt in the future as It's fairly straight forward and self explanatory once you get into the swing of it.
There were areas that I struggled with more so than others but overall I'm very pleased with the results and feel happy and proud to show off my achievements.
The stages of making for this shirt were very satisfying and enjoyable to do as I would concentrate on a certain area like the cuff on the sleeve and then work on something else so that when it all came together it was a great pleasure and looked really smart as a whole.
I struggled the most with the collar which did distress me as firstly it was too large, then it was too small which meant I had to lower the neck line on the shirt so wasn't as smooth as i would have liked. Nevertheless, I got it finished in time and am ready to start the breeches.
