1910’s - Edwardian-Era Button Down

This Edwardian-era inspired button down shirt is handmade, crafted from old curtains. The design of the shirt was made with specific elements of the era in mind — including the slight V-neck, the ruffled collar and puffed sleeves. Other parts of the design were implemented for the specifics of the shoot including the cropped length and dark buttoning with the intention of creating a romantic and poetic look for the character.
