Wedding vest

The wedding vest is finished and I was able to give it to the groom-to-be on Easter, four weeks before the wedding.  I was pleased with how it turned out and it fit perfectly.  This was my first time making men's clothing.  Not sure if it is a direction to my sewing I will take very often but it was fun to help with the wedding.  The fabric was beautiful, white and silver silk for the front and satin for the back and lining.

I know the groom isn't supposed to see the bride in her dress before the wedding but evidently it is OK for the bride to see what the groom is wearing.  This photo shows the happy couple showing the vest off to the family.
