Vintage inspired hand-knit vest

This seems to be my most popular piece. It's hand knitted from a 4ply cotton yarn with a leaf design that widens down the body for the hips. The belt tie is hand dyed and printed silk with a peony and beetle design, and the brooch is a knitted wool peony with embroidery. One of the most time consuming pieces, and one of 2 pieces I've put on my new Folksy shop, so we'll see if it gets any interest!
