Just wanted to share a project I made. This garment is the Gilbert Waistcoat by PatternCos on Etsy. I recommend it, especially for shiny fabrics like this one!

I saw a pistol of some fluffy sort.

The pattern matching on the seams looks really good! I’m intimidated by sewing on smooth ~~and sheer~~ fabrics, so kudos ~~for combining both~~

Edit: I’m blind/fooled by lighting, I don’t think that’s sheer now that I look again haha

It's just extremely shiny fabric!

Thank you, the pattern match was a very happy accident 😅

Awesome. Real Zatanna vibes.

It reminds me of peacock feathers. Do you own any shiny green accessories?
