Thank you for posting this!
My husband asked me to make him a Hobbit-style Dwarf costume (to match my Hobbit one) and I was intimidated by the idea of making a vest/jacket of high complexity on top of his tunic.
But you have made it so very accessible by walking us through the steps, one by one.
Thank you so much! 🎉

Wonderful and totally wearable as a very beautiful winter coat! When I was young, I loved Romeo's doublet in Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. If I'd had one, I'd have worn it with jeans, boots, and a linen shirt! Beautiful clothes don't have to only be for the stage or cosplay! You've reminded us of that.

Very nice. I really like the lace in sleeve, I might be able to make one because of this.

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

Yes, it saves you from having to sew the sleeves in, which is always the worst part 🤭

You made your boyfriend look so cool!

I'm definitely going to make this, it looks so nice. If mine turns looking nice I'll make a few to give away too. ❤
