The fabric is just something he had lying around and I wouldn't have necessarily chosen it myself, but it's grown on me. The photo is a little blurry, because the 74 year old tailor hasn't had much practice taking photos with smartphones, but I don't mind that you can make out my rubbish buttonholes. It is a shame you can't see the topstitching though. CONGRATS! menswear is crazy hard. it's tight on the hips and a bit too loose under the arms, which is what's giving your model the look of a big tummy. don't underestimate the value of a sturdy back when it comes to vests, the darts are very important for fit. imo your big problem here is underarm fit, i think you could widen the shoulder seams and recut the underarms, while widening the hip. proper darting in the back is needed, but drafting a pattern from measurements can only go so far, fitting on the bloke is aloways going to be the definitive thing in men's tailoring. which is why i don't make stuff for men unless i love them, haha Koivunen posted:Urgent Halloween question: I made a dress out of tulle strips and the static electricity is insane. In retrospect I should have chosen a different fabric but I was just following the DIY instructions! What's the best way to reduce static electricity in tulle? spritz some water on the fabric and run your hand over it while you're wearing it, that should remove the static. if the static is sticking the fabric to your legs, wet your hands and flip the skirt up while you're wearing it like you're flashing. a cotton petticoat will help avoid static cling to your legs too
