Very nice but not quite me, my working gear tends to be anything that is well past its sell by date, enhanced by splodges of paint.

I quite like  the one with the band at the bottom though, although no hood, I could be persuaded with that one.  Pocket variations to suit yourself and of course I love a zip.

Looking for a new vest, gilet, bodywarmer pattern but not sure about this one, a bit too fussy i think.
It's not easy being this perfekt

Is it a men's pattern?  Or don't they have a woman's mannequin?  :laughing:

Didn't see any men wearing it @Bodgeitandscarper I prefer the one  with the ruched band at the bottom, but I'd have to miss some of the pockets out, got nothing to put in them.  Don't forget she's a Japanese lady so probably not well endowed at the top, bit like me really only I make up for it in other places.  To me her patterns run on the small side, I always have to hike them up a bit.

I only looked at this pic - that is not a woman's chest!

I prefer this one with a few adjustments.



Some of us were at the back of the queue for finishing off @Bodgeitandscarper however, they will never drape round my waist :laughing:

I wouldn't make it though, already got a pattern for something similar with no sleeves.

Bodyshaming is never good. And we all know who it really shames.

The orange one looks like a life jacket to me.

A garment like this doesn't usually have any shaping and is generally unisex.  It wouldn't really be feasible to have practical pockets over bust darts.  I have  a non shaped Regatta one which I wear all the time - it is for practicality so I have somewhere to carry a knife, string, binoculars, castrating rings, syringes, scissors,  tissues, coins, dog biscuits and all the other essential bits and pieces that one acquires throughout the day.
This one is trying to make a utility garment into a fashion item.

I often wonder why she always goes for 'utility' in her patterns because she herself is definitely not 'utility' looking.

Sounds like all you need for a good night out in Murder Book Club land.

 :laughing: In my case, it wouldn't really be feasible to have practical pockets over my bust!

Did anyone else notice that while those mannequins don't have a bust, that chest is definitely topping off some female width hips?!? :S

I'm not shaming anyone.  The whole appearance of that mannequin just says male to me.

Tell me about it, I often struggled to find a bra with small enough cups  :laughing:  Now I'm 19 stone, at least I can fill a B cup  :dance:
