I made this vest several years ago. It was very easy to sew and I think it looks well-made. But I have worn it just once for all kinds of reasons.
The lining and back is China silk. It is heaven to wear (and was easy to sew).But the front is cotton flannel. I like the print, but I paid verrrrry little for this, and knowing that makes me worry everyone else can tell. The sizing is a little too big; my waist disappears. I don't like how big the armholes are. Lastly, I guess I am not a vest person. Maybe the look is too unconventional for me, but mostly, I need sleeves to keep warm!
