I used this pattern. It called for the use of flexible boning, which was a first for me. I was a little intimidated but it actually went together quite nicely.
Thanks everyone. I’m definitely going to see about using the pattern to make a more casual modern version of this and the vest version included in the pattern that kind of throws steampunk vibes.
@Sleepless-Ghost hah…I’m so familiar with the ever growing list of projects.
