Czech Kroj – Men’s Vest

Category : Fiber Arts, Journal

Finally, I am off and running on this year’s costumes.  I have been procrastinating about the construction of this year’s costumes, partly out of a lack of time and partly out of a lack of enthusiasm.  But now I have the first finished piece to show you and I’m back baby!!

Here is the vest that I asked you all to help me with choosing the trim colors and configuration.  I went with option #2 and then spiced up the configuration to give the vest a “look at me” quality, an essential quality when involved in a dance contest.  Let me know what you think…good or bad, constructive critisim is always welcome!

Very handsome, in a “sparkle-plenty” sort of way, which is what you need. Well done!

Lookin’ good!

The classic DK touch! As always….very well done!

I think it looks spectacular!
