Sweeney Todd shirt

I'm in the middle of putting together a Sweeney Todd costume and wonder if anybody who had already done this had any leads on a good shirt to use for the costume?

I've found a few close ones with the wing collars, but they don't have all the details I'm looking for.
The closest I've found so far is a Victorian collar Scottish dress shirt for use with kilts etc

However these don't have the correct type or button cuffs or the puffy sleeves (not sure how else to describe that :lol)

so has anyone else had any better luck?
 
I think your best option is to made it yoursefl, ask sithcamaro for some tips (he already did a wonderful Sweeney Todd costume) ;)
 
I've seen Tobys and as always it's very impressive, but I'm not worried about the embroidery thats covered up by the vest, accurate buttons, stitching or anything too much with this costume, I'm just doing this one for fun. So I'm looking for a 'close enough' just the correct sleeves/cuff and collar on an existing shirt and I'll be happy :lol
I've found the details I want on 2 separate shirts, but not both together.

I'd also love to see everyones Sweeney Todd costumes they've done
 
I'm thinking to do one, but not too soon... I've just finished my Jack Sparrow, and I should start working on Altair from "assassin's creed"... Probably during the year I will start working on this one too...
 
Just wanted to chime in, and let you know that I will have one shirt up, very shortly.
It won't be identical, as it is just my initial prototype shirt.
It does not button down, nor does it have all of the pleats & embroidery on the front, nor identical buttons.
But it does have the correct collar/sleeves & cuffs. Shirt is 100% lightweight linen.
Perhaps have it up tomorrow, or later tonight. :love
 
Toby Makes gooood stuff =D im working on my sweeney now. I just went up to the fashion district in LA to pick up my fabric they had everything but the blueish grey linen for the jacket
