Palazzo vest

Inside
Decoration, necessary for prolonging the top, cotton cloth with flowers, a never-ready longer skirt that my mother started to sew.

As I work following the principle as-you-go-along, I suddenly saw the remnants of my husband shirt, after I just cut it up and made the skirt.
Look, this is someting already sewn, sometimes even with buttons and buttonholes (no like to do), but oh so short. That is why it looks like this.
The original collar was already mended turned inside-out and now completely warn out.

Left, the matching outside.
Decor – the same cloth as the volant of the skirt.
Volant and collar – silkimitation, Indiska.
The vest/bolero is open and held together with ribbons.
