It looks good on you and fits your style perfectly. I had that thought before I read down and saw that you made it, which is quite impressive.

Lovely vest Deborah! Funny, I was just looking yesterday at a very similar DIY vest from Gracia (my most admired and revered style crush of
them all) http://www.the-rosenrot.com/20.....html#links
who got her instructions from Mika of http://definedelirium.blogspot.....-vest.html.
It's interesting to see how slight design differences can alter the look.Thanks for the instructions, maybe I'll have a go too...:)

I bought a similar cape vest a few years back that is also 2 armholes cut out of textured woven wool fabric in a circle shape. I love the volume of the collar and the 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 fabric I'll try: https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akam.....5308_n.jpg
