I went on one of my periodic, generally fruitless, searches for one of my One True Garments. Long ago, ChicStar made a fantastic velveteen long skirted waistcoat. I bought multiples. But now, thanks to the pandemic (and possibly some other things), nothing in my stockpile fits me. 

But lo! A random seller on Etsy had ONE in the size I need, and I snapped it up. 

gothiccharmschool:“ gothiccharmschool:“ Okay peeps, Auntie Jilli needs you to help her find a thing. ChicStar has discontinued this “Layered Velvet Long Vest”. A brief search of eBay and Amazon hasn’t turned anything up, but I’m deep in the depths...




Seriously, this thing is PERFECT. A good weight to drape properly over skirts. Shawl collar. POCKETS. Once we get settled in the new house, I'm going to ask the Madwoman in the (new!) attic to duplicate it. But for now, one is on  the way to me.

It is such a good look on you. I was afraid to ask if you had an attic for the Madwoman. More good news.

That is a truly excellent garment. Congratulations!

Wonderful sort of character to have about --

That really is a gorgeous-looking garment! I love the look of it & the color - and only wish it had short angel-ish sleeves.
