Wow!<br /> I must say I was really disappointed last spring in what I saw. I was not crazy about all the tribal prints and baggy dress designs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29960 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:39:36 +0000 Patience 29960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's really odd they don't have a view of the back online. I mean if you decided to order it (I can't find anywhere else online) and hadn't seen it in person, you'd be in for quite a surprise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29957 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:32:17 +0000 Ana 29957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patience, Sarah and I were shopping and we saw the DVF vest in person at this little boutique-y place we stopped in. </p> <p>The printed silk back is really what elevates it above a regular menswear vest, because it looks good coming, and then it's stunning going. It's like a little mysterious secret you don't realize is there until the person turns around. And of course Patience looks *amazing* in it. It's too bad the site doesn't show the back of the vest. Hopefully this will mean people won't realize how neat it is and won't buy it, and there will be plenty left to go on sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29954 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:22:13 +0000 Anonymous 29954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The DVF vest is gorgeous. I love it. I don't care much for how the website works. I didn't fnd a way to see the back. The price makes me want to sew a vest for myself. There is one great example of how the cost of the materials is far lower than the cost of the finished item. I might just make a vest and use that one as an example while looking for patterns. How did you get to see the back? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29953 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:20:54 +0000 Ana 29953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will keep my fingers crossed for you getting it on sale, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29949 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:14:04 +0000 Sarah 29949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will cross my fingers for you that it goes on sale, Patience. I know exactly how you feel. Most of my favorite items are just beyond practical reach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29938 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:38:18 +0000 Patience 29938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Sarah, I'd like to do that but it is quite expensive. San, this is the best picture I can find and it's not very good:</p> <p><a href="http://www.dvf.com/dvf/browse/productDetailWithPicker.jsp?productId=S7169372G8&#038;categoryId=TOPS" rel="nofollow">http://www.dvf.com/dvf/browse/.....oryId=TOPS</a></p> <p>The front is a green tweedy material and the back is a small really colorful silk print. I could definitely see wearing this with a black button down and oxfords. That's what I have in mind but I'm going to have to save for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29929 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:23:54 +0000 Anonymous 29929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is the DVF one? Can we see a picture? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29926 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:21:01 +0000 Sarah 29926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you ought to save your pennies for the other DVF one. I can really see it fitting in better with your wardrobe, and it seems like it could be more versatile for you. Plus, it was an 11 on the CRS scale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29904 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 15:23:59 +0000 Patience 29904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Hearing all of your wonderful ideas has made me realize that I just don't *love* the vest so I think I'll keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29776 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:08:05 +0000 Antje 29776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute!! Awesome suggestions from everyone. Love the idea of yellow or teal especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29768 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:54:56 +0000 Amanda 29768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>good suggestions already -- can't wait to see the photos </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29767 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:49:45 +0000 Sarah 29767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea Ana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29763 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:30:42 +0000 Ana 29763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, have you tried it over your yellow ruffle swirl blouse you got at the NAS? That might be really nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29761 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:22:26 +0000 celia 29761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Depending on your own colouring I would say, light gray, light blue,black, fuchsia, white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29760 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:20:21 +0000 Tanya 29760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lovely vest Patience!</p> <p>I think it's very versatile and you could wear a lot of things underneath. In terms of colors: white, black, grey, pink, purple, teal, emerald green, yellow, or a well chosen print like on the model. In terms of shapes: button down shirts, blouses ( ruffles and tie-neck details especially), turtlenecks, simple knitted tops ( tee-shirts). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colors-for-this-waistcoat#post-29758 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:12:22 +0000 Patience 29758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to try this vest:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2976941?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=furstenburg+vest+in+All+Categories&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....rchresults</a></p> <p>It fits well, although it is quite cropped. But I'm having a hard time working it into my wardrobe. I don't want to have to go out and buy more clothes to wear with it. Ideas for colors and styles to wear underneath? I'd mostly want to wear it with jeans or skirts. There's another DVF waistcoat I tried that I like a lot and would look good with black underneath I think but it's not on sale so I'd have to save my pennies for that one. </p>
