Long version, open front

Long version, closed

Matching gauntlets in the same wool/silk blend with upcycled silk embellishments felted into them.

Wouldn't these shoes (seen in BA of course!) be amazing with the vest?!

Louise has been wanting to create a piece of clothing in felt for a long time now.  She started on this wrap vest the day after we got back from Buenos Aires!  The excuse was that we needed a unique piece for the fashion show of the Halifax fair this coming weekend.  We have seen knit versions of a similar vest in various formats but this felt variation is even more versatile.  It can be worn upside down, right side up, and even switched to being inside out!  Every change gives it a new look.  We tried it on a variety of body types - in one version or another it suits everyone. 
Come see the ensemble being modeled this coming weekend at the NSDCC Christmas Fair November 16, 17 and 18.
