| Check out the velvet accents at the collar and pockets |
In the back, I cut a little above the bottom of the arm hole. Then again, beginning at the shoulder/arm hole and around the back-under the collar.
I finished the raw edges with a little stitching and a zig-zag.
Under the collar, I folded the edge in and stitched it down.
For the new back edge, I pressed a fold...
...then stitched elastic down just below the fold line.
I folded the edge over the elastic (pulling it tight), and stitched it down.
There it is. A Halter Vest.

I have never seen this done with a woolen. Very interesting. Very cute with the winter oxfords.
