DANCING GYPSY VEST

by

Yay new vest! And yay for uncharacteristic photos that still look good. I think if you didn’t know me this picture would be totally plausible. And as unusual as this color scheme is for me, I really dig the design. I took these pictures myself by the way, setting up the iPhone on a tripod. Haven’t quite worked out the lighting situation though, maybe I’ll give it another go today…

The exterior shell is made from a discontinued upholstery fabric. It’s maroon with a gold thread running through, and a beautiful embossed gothic pattern. The green and gold twist gives the vest structure, and those tassels accentuate every move!

One of my favorite details is the cream and gold lace appliqué sewn onto the back. It’s like a necklace for your back.

A row of pressed brass snaps down the front is easy to close and fun to rip open.

Well, the vest and the leggings are in my Etsy shop now, and just about everything is on sale! Plus you can always use the coupon code CottonCandyKitten to get free US shipping.

GIRAFFE VEST

by

I actually made this vest a while back, but have only just recently been able to get pictures! But I think I’ve got my situation set up so that I’ll be able to photograph myself fairly often. I have a whole pile of leggings that I haven’t been able to post yet!

I love the amount of crazy in this vest. Giraffe-print linen, the loop trim, pink paisley lining!

It’s from a self-drafted pattern, and named after my friend who inspired the original. All the fabrics have been pre-shrunk, and they are also all natural.

This picture really makes me realize how much I need a haircut. I got my timing all messed up, so I’m going to wait another 3 weeks before I get it done. And that way I will still have awesome hair for the wedding!

I really love the shaping of this, the way it shows off your waist is pretty sexy. For now, this one-and-only vest is in the Etsy shop! That’s right, there will not and cannot be another of these.

OPULENT OPTIC LEGGINGS

by

I thought that I’d used up all of this amazing black and white jersey, but I recently unearthed a few pairs of leggings that I cut out over a year ago!

I have my own pair of leggings in this fabric, and it’s one of my stretchiest, most comfortable pairs ever. Great under a skirt, warm at the beach, and perfect for lounging at home with a beverage (or dancing in the alley). Jason even has a pair, which he cut and sewed himself!

All I can say is hooray for nude-colored panties.

I could think of so many adjectives to describe this fantastic print! It’s got the swirling eyeballs that I love in Klimt’s work, it’s Byzantine and Assyrian and all those ornate trippy designs. Very optic, very opulent! A very wiggly print!

This fabric was previously thought to be lost forever, so take advantage of my Indiana Jones-esque cleaning skills before they’re all gone! Etsy shop-ho!
