MY MODIFICATIONS:
I made a few simple mods to mineto make it look like a Toast vest I have been coveting:

- No buttons/buttonholes
- moved the underarm and neck increases 8 sts over from the edge to create a visible increase line in the garter.

I decided it was a bit too wide after these photos and popped it in the washing machine for more of a felt - so terrifying - to bring it in a bit more. I set a 15 min wash on 30 degrees and that did the job. Do this twice if needed. It is about 2 sizes smaller and where I wanted it. Fabric isn't too felted, but just the right amount to bring the garter in and keep it there.

The photos with dress is after one felting, the photo with the orange brooch is after two.
