Paisley Vest

When I was in New York last fall to help Ang shop for her wedding dress, we found some neat fabric in the garment district. I made a vest out of one of the fabrics. I may wear it to the Rehearsal Dinner.


The fabric was very hard to photograph because it has a lot of metallic gold in it. I bought the fabric thinking I would use the other side on the outside because it was more purple. The more I looked at the fabric, the more it looked like the gold with blue and purple was the right side.



I love purple and plan to wear a purple blouse with the vest.

Wow! Your sewing machine must be smoking! You sure have been busy. The vest is beautiful and looks great with purple and blue, too.

Its very pretty and well made. Goes back to my comment to you about you saying we don't want to look homemade. Well this vest doesn't look homemade! You know gold and silver in clothing is so in style. At least that is my 22 year old's trend so you are with it girl.
