So you have probably heard me talk about Vest Dresses before. Yes, I made that name up! They are essentially just sleeveless suit jackets. Well, I am kind of obsessed with them right now.

I like "vest dress" the best :) And I was just sitting here wondering what jackets I have I could rip the sleeves off of!
ReplyDeleteOooh! I need to find one of these. Where did you find the dress form you use in your pictures? I've been tng to score a muslin-like one (at a reasonable price) for ages. Thanks for the Twitter follow... I admire your blog!

Don't you love validation? Especially when you can be proud to have thrifted your version(s)? The second one is amazing with the cute zippers and studs.
