Steampunk Shirt Fitting

Everything is going well with my steampunk shirt making. There's a speedy progress. I sewed all the parts. I created the collar stand thrice. First - it didn't fit. Second - it wasn't sewed well. Third - edge stitch wasn't sewed well.

I created a separate collar instead of connecting it with the shirt. I doesn't look right from my toile connected so it's best to detach it, same with the neck frill. I will have to change the collarbecause it's too floppy. It needs to be a bit sturdy and shorter.

I also fitted it with my gorgeous peer, Lily. I think it looked great. I can imagine the shirt with hot pants and high boots. It might work.
