Okay, I FINALLY finished the vest! I put it off for way toooo looonnnnggg. Quite a while ago I quickly made the vest as soon as I got the fabric, with no thought to detail or sturdiness, so last week I took the whole thing apart and painted the designs on it, added interfacing, and some soft brown lining to the inside. Here's the finished product: (Almost, I am currently working on the red leather belt, dagger sheath, and cordial pouch, I'll post about those when I finish them)
This costume consists of:
- A white linen shirt
- A fully lined red vest
- Teal velvet pants
- Brown boots
The cuffs and collar are pleated and sewn onto them is a cool trim that I found in our sewing room.
The front of the shirt closes with a small white button fastened with a handmade button loop. (Oops, sorry this one is sideways)
I found these great buttons at Joanns, very Narnian aren't they?

I had a whole lot of fun (and, I admit, frustration) making this costume, and I'm pleased with the way it turned out. XDUntil next time,
