 INTRODUCTION

The shirt that I opted for is a kind of shirt that can be worn as casuals. I
took printed material and the experiment turned out to be amazing as its
visually appealing. Buttons, I’ve used it as functional and for visual
significance.
This is a casual full sleeve button down shirt . I’ve only used single
fabric for the shirt. I haven’t given any lining for the shirt. The placket
used in this shirt is self placket.
