Here it is.
That button isn't really sewn on crookedly, I just missed that it had been twisted a bit when I took the photos. Nothing short of seeing it in person can do the fabric justice - it's that striped cotton I've been talking about, and I can't get over how stupid I was not to buy up a couple of extra meters of it while it was around. Now it's sold out, and I'll regret that for the rest of my life. Bah.
Anyway, I like how it turned out - the buttons and the fabric go very well together, and the buttons really stand out. I'll wear it out tomorrow, will try to snatch a few minutes to get a few decent photos of the thing on me. The dummy does a good job of showing it off, but it isn't wearing the matching garrison cap...
In other news, the European Figure Skating Championships are in full swing and I'm positively wallowing in it. God, I love tacky, glitzy figure skating costumes! I love the melodrama, the big gestures and the incredible skill, strength and grace of these people - figure skating makes great television, and it's at that dull time of the year when you often don't have anything better to do around bedtime anyway.
