Barbara V said... Your vest looks terrific. The fabric is lovely and looks like something from EOS and is perfect for your vest. The alterations you made sound like the same thing I would need to do. Great job. I going to look for that Thread's article. 11/30/09 7:07 PM
Renren said... No wonder you got compliments. This is absolutely beautiful. It's like a work of art. I think I'm following that dart thing you did in the back. It sounds like a V shape, right, with one leg of the V coming down from each shoulder seam and meeting at CB? Beautiful fabric from EOS and your photo is very nice. 11/30/09 7:34 PM

(I put the jacket on my dressform and pinned out the amount that was too full and that became my dart.) I hope this helps. 11/30/09 8:12 PM
