Well, it is terribly far from perfect, but I've mostly finished the little velvet vest or body from Sense & Sensibility. I had both the silk lining and the silk velvet in my stash and they are a great color and matched each other! But I'd also blocked out from my Lord of the Rings days just how hard silk velvet is to work with. Blech. I'm not really happy with the wrinkles and pulls and though I tried to place my darts where the real ones are, they're not really in the right place. Oh well. I had the lace in my stash too - I actually colored the scallops with a Sharpie to imitate the real one.
It's also bag lined, which I so hate doing, especially with velvet.
The pattern was very loosely based on the same Sensibility pattern pieces.
But it's wearable, so we'll see how it looks in pics!
The only thing I have to add is the velvet covered buttons, but I'm waiting for a button blank kit to come in the mail.
Here's a few pics of mine and of the real one:
It's so pretty. :)
