On one hand this "cap" is not that bad and on the other hand, just how heavy would it be with all those beads? It's advertised as an "adventure to make and wear"...ya, I'm sure...you'd be busy looking at your toes to make sure it doesn't slide right off the back of your head! And just what occasion would you wear this for and with what type of outfit?It looks like a lot of intricate work to create this thing too as it includes crochet thread in the kit. May as well just keep on going and make it into a doily large enough to fit on a table - probably a more appropriate place for this type of crochet.
Quick, look away....this vest really is NOT as chunky as it looks and the colour combination really isn't that hideous! If you were wondering what the "diagonal optical illusion" was in this vest...I just told you! Is it just me or does the mannequin look 50 lbs heavier with this thing on? Maybe that's why the designer couldn't get a live model to show it - she didn't want to look that HUGE!
Wanna look bigger than you are? Here's the perfect vest for you! It comes in all the regular sizes, plus sizes and petite sizes too...and no matter how you slice it, yes, you WILL look bigger than you are! Boxy vests that come way down past your butt are never flattering - they engulf your waist and make it disappear and you end up looking like a big square. Not a look I'm particularly after even if it is a free pattern!
Is it just me or is that just a wee bit too much purple? And then to trim it with fun fur in purple too...including around the arms...well, why? I am quite sure this much fun fur wouldn't be "easy" to add either! How about "Vests Made Ugly"? A better title for this one for sure.
