Description I know it's not really a tutorial 8/

wanted to know how the pieces looked like; so here they are.

The shapes are depends on you; men vest usually came with straight lines; but if you don't want to 'show off', straight lines are good for that.

The pink lines will follow your body line.

But really; every thing's depends on you and how do you want to style your vest.

I hope i helped a little 8/

How much allowance should I add on the sides of the pieces? Half and inch?

if you mean where you will sew? uhm we usually give 1 centimeter. But if you don't do a prototype i think you should add 3 centimeter to the side part's side and 2 to the other parts. But i highly recommend you to make a prototype firstly out of any kind of material so after that you'll know how much you should add to each part. Even if it's wasting of time and material it is better than cutting up the fabric what from you want to make it and then just realize that you put less or too much allowance on it 83~

oh for trancy? ohmg |D well yeah it could be good for it; but.. maybe a normal vest would be better... i mean this one ain't has the shoulder part but what Trancy wears it has... but uhm.... i have a book what has normal drawings about that kinda vest... srsly now i can't scan it ... but if you're interested about that, then tomorrow i can send you the scans

either works, I would be wearing the coat so you wouldn't see if it had the shoulder part or not.

pedig atom egyszerű... annyi az egész h kivágod a darabokat összevarrod... áttűződ a v.sz.-t és kész.. mondjuk a széleket ell lehet tisztázni és feltűzni vagy szegőpántot rá aztán ugy levarrni~
