In fact, it almost seems like too much body for a lining, but it works well. (I used the same taffeta in the last version of the vest.)shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-8555866931304981752015-12-07T18:12:46.920-08:002015-12-07T18:12:46.920-08:00Wow - you have been quite productive.

The vest is such an interesting fabric especially pairing it with a stretch taffeta. Did the differing fabrics cause any problems like puckers? I totally agree that Pantone's colors for 2016 are ucky. I wear clear,warm colors grounded by brown or black so I'll be sticking to my stash. Thanks for the fun post!
