Jeff is used to wearing Vivien Westwood and other high end designer suits. He stressed a small armhole and fancy tailoring but had limited funds. I used stretch velvet and fused it to muslin, hit the trim store bargain buckets and found a bag of assorted blue and black trims for 5 dollars, acrylic gems and a piece of black beaded lace.

The silk dickie and the waist piece were last minute additions because the coat was hot he did not want to wear a shirt underneath. As well as he wears low rise pants and needed to fill the space. between the edgeg of his pants and the front of the jacket.
