Hello! Pictured above is a Vest that I made for Nancy in Washington State. I used hand-dyed (by me) silk chiffon scarves. The white square that's not so clear is fabulous vintage lace! The bright edging that you see is silk taffeta. Thankyou, Nancy!
This LifeVest has sleeves added on and is lined-yes, you can wear it either way round! I made the lining using vintage curtains. I sued the same meshy fabric for the outer shell and mixed in some silks and cottons. Yes, the sides are vented.

Life Vests 2
Hello! Here is a vest I made for fabric designer Carol Eaton. I used Carol's hand-dyed silk organza.
Yes, I will make you a vest according to your measurements! No I do not use a serger . All seams are French (folded in)
