I've seen this waistcoat in person, photos do not do it justice. It's stunning and a ton of embroidery work on linen.

The tailoring on this waistcoat looks wonderful, and the embroidery is magnificent. I can only imagine how proud you must be to wear such an authentic work of art.

This is fabulous! This should have won everything. I'm currently beginning to study Elizabethan embroidery through the EGA and kits from Phillipa Turnbull and a jacket like this would be my ultimate goal. My hat is off to you.
