The original Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Atlantis top

This vest was inspired by a Vivienne Westwood Anglomania top.  It's a great piece for fall because it can be worn alone on warmer days or layered over another shirt when chilly.

I used Vogue 8385 to construct the top and drafted an L-shaped peplum pattern to better resemble the designer original.  I carefully lined up the plaid cotton fabric and added a row of covered buttons to the front.  My favorite part is that the inside is completely finished with rayon lining, so it looks just as nice as the outside.

Good Job and Good Luck.
