Hi Dawn,
No there is no shank. All the fabric is gathered at the back, and makes a
shank in itself.

Hi
The white cirkles are embroidered two. Yes i did embroider the buttons, i
used wood foundations for the buttons.
Some shops sells excactly copyes of 18th century button moulds, they are
either by bone or wood, with a whole in the middle.
I asked what the whole was for, and they told me the only way they could
drill out such round foundations was to make a whole in the cirkle.
When the fabric is stretched over it, you cant see it.
So, you're saying your button foundations are flat wood circles with a
hole in the middle? There's no shank on the wooden part?
