Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is the second half of the Sweet dress I made for display at the Art Festival here this weekend. The M&M dress actually made it in the local newspaper! This boys vest is made from the wrapper of Hershey’s chocolate and the silver trim is the paper the chocolate is wrapped in. I also covered the buttons with the silver paper. His bow-tie is an empty M&M bag I used to tie his outfit with the girls dress. This will also be on display at the festival.
Material Notes
Hershey’s chocolate wrappers, khaki cotton, M&M wrapper

Thanks kstyled. Since most men’s vest backs are different I thought I’d make this one different too. I was on a deadline and I spent so much time on the girls “sweet” dress that I ran out of time on this one. It was fun though!
