Funny, I was just looking yesterday at&nbsp;a very similar DIY vest from Gracia (my most admired and revered style crush of&nbsp;<br /> them all) <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.the-rosenrot.com/2012/10/diy-draped-vest.html#links">http://www.the-rosenrot.com/20.....html#links</a><br /> who got her instructions from Mika of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://definedelirium.blogspot.sg/2012/10/diy-drape-vest.html">http://definedelirium.blogspot.....-vest.html</a>.<br />It's interesting to see how slight design differences can alter &nbsp;the look.Thanks for the instructions, maybe I'll have a go too...:)</p> <p>I bought a similar cape vest a few years back that is also 2&nbsp;armholes cut out of &nbsp;textured woven wool fabric in a circle shape. I love the volume&nbsp;of the &nbsp;collar and the&nbsp;way it stands up high! (though my cape vest isn’t as classy as this Sophiajjames one, which may be made from a crushed fake fur fabric--maybe that's the&nbsp;fabric I'll try: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/p480x480/282948_326455227458410_1742265308_n.jpg">https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akam.....5308_n.jpg</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt/page/2#post-973295 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 14:03:24 +0000 Sara L. 973295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good on you and fits your style perfectly.

I fell in love with it, and thankfully it was on sale so I bought it.&nbsp; Then later on when I was looking at it at home, I decided I could potentially make it or something similar.&nbsp; So&nbsp;I went to our local fabric store and purchased the navy felt.&nbsp; I couldn't find anything wide enough to create a circle the same size as the black one, so improvised and went for the half circle (<i>DH assisted me with the half circle - I am not very mathmatical</i>) and 'voila'...<b> so I made this myself</b>, and I didn't say because I didn't want you to be kind, just honest.&nbsp; And it has now given me some other ideas....I am not much of seamstress but wll see what comes of it.&nbsp; I will show you the black one as soon as I wear it.&nbsp;xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt#post-972784 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 22:10:26 +0000 Beth Ann 972784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modern, but without a hint of the somber tone sometimes found in "architectural" pieces.&nbsp; You'll have great fun with this!<br />Tell DH you'll allowing him the opportunities to push the boundaries of his understanding.&nbsp; It's an opportunity for personal growth!&nbsp; lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt#post-972768 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:35:48 +0000 Diana 972768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic top!

Plus I dare saying it is wearable as-is (I understand the cold weather necessity to layer it with long sleeves, and it might look even better. Nonetheless I'd like to register it already looks good with nude arms) Again: you find the best toppers. The grey jacket is a killer and this navy vest is a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wdyt#post-972476 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 13:05:11 +0000 jurocha 972476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, yay, yay!
