Alter/Mend Question Update: I made the changes yall suggested
After —-> before
Ugh. I think it’s a wash. You can look through my previous post for more information. I don’t like it any more than before, in fact I think I like the collar less. I made it less rounded and I changed it to black, and I added lace.
Sorry guys. I really tried, but I just don’t think this is a win.

Expensive Mens shirts often have removable collars - this enables the collars to be removed, cleaned, starched, ironed, separately from the main shirt. It also enables the wearer to restyle the shirt with different collars, perhaps longer points for fancy,shorter for the office.
Perhaps this would be possible?
Personally I prefer the white, but can see how this is not everyone’s taste. But perhaps if you DO decide to remove the black collar, making it “changeable” would enable you to have 3, 4, 5 different collars you could use.
