I hate bunchy sleeves. I bet when I move to a colder climate I'll start looking out for vests. Or just knit my own, although I'm a slow knitter, so that could take too long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers/page/2#post-1148271 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 12:04:18 +0000 viva 1148271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, this is an amazing outfit -- so many points of interest, I just love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1148252 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 11:35:48 +0000 kkards 1148252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what a great way to layer! love this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1148246 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 11:22:15 +0000 gryffin 1148246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana - I love this one you.&nbsp; Definitely a steampunk vibe - which I personally adore.&nbsp; Love the plaid skinnies and the vest does give you are corset look.&nbsp; I would not have thought to put it with an asymmetric hem but it works brillantly.&nbsp; The proportions are totally perfect and flattering from jacket down to boots.&nbsp; Major wow, you look just wonderful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1148239 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:44:40 +0000 Lantana 1148239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, a little gasp of delight erupted when I opened this up.

(Big surprise, I'm sure.) I've got a couple waistcoat style vests that I struggle to incorporate, but now I'm thinking a knit vest would fit in more easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147881 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 22:12:08 +0000 ramya 1147881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooo I love it.

I think it's a lot more harmonious without the jewelry.&nbsp; I like to think that my style is getting more sophisticated and grown up, as you mention.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147790 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 20:49:49 +0000 Beth Ann 1147790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this --- it's a perfect example of how something with "maximal" details can still be composed and harmonious.&nbsp; It's also romantic, but very grown up, which isn't always an easy look to achieve.</p> <p>This would be a great "casual party" look, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147768 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 20:38:50 +0000 Angie 1147768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer to the power of Killer</p> <p>Steampunk Spunk.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147765 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 20:35:10 +0000 Astrid 1147765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is so awesome!

The vest is a great addition to the outfit. Neo-Victorian/gothy is spot on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147692 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:05:43 +0000 Diana 1147692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, mine is actually a sweater vest with a really low neckline. But the modern Japanese ones are basically like tube tops. the traditional ones are more like padded obis, I think, that tie in back.<br /> ETA: I think rachylou has one, so maybe she'll weigh in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147684 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 19:00:27 +0000 ironkurtin 1147684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this.&nbsp; How does it fasten in back?!</p> <p>I need one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147683 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:59:16 +0000 AviaMariah 1147683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a great combo. &nbsp;You'll have to wear it again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147679 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:57:21 +0000 carambola 1147679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is amazing!&nbsp;From the full length pic, it looks like one&nbsp;very cool, interestingly textured top. So creative&nbsp;and I <i>love</i> the effect. Fab jacket too.</p> <p>Seems like those Blondos were a great purchase </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147675 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:54:05 +0000 Anonymous 1147675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks very unusual and very fab. I bet the hints of teal pick out the bluey green tone in the Blackwatch tartan beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-neo-victorian-layers#post-1147671 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:48:14 +0000 Diana 1147671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, I meant Japanese belly-warmers, not rib warmers.&nbsp; Rib warmers are something else that may only exist in the hand-knitting world, e.g. this garment:<br /><a href="http://brooklyntweed.net/blog/?p=189" rel="nofollow">http://brooklyntweed.net/blog/?p=189</a></p> <p>About haramaki:<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haramaki_%28clothing%29" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.....lothing%29</a></p> <p> </p>
