Sewing: vest for my steampunk outfit
18 kudoz

vest for my steampunk outfit

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Victorian / Steampunk, Casual, Whimsical, Classic


Materials

1/2 yard of pinstipe suiting, 1/4 yard cream cotton, 1/4 yard old brown drape LOL, sweet clearance indian head buttons

What was your inspiration?

Wanting to mix my own style with steam punk and see what came out the other side

What are you most proud of?

The button holes are done in a difficult style...

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I'm glad I took into consideration what I might wear under this- if I had made it based on my original pattern draft, I would have not been able to wear anything under it comfortably- extended armholes, and adding an inch more ease than I normally do when sewing for myself...

It does look professionally done. This is a super sexy menswear inspired look. Not as "in your face' as the corsets, but no less sexy. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more.
