This is incredible. I can't believe you made this! I'll be following this for sure :lol
I’m still disappointed with the gold bands on the sleeves—it’s meant to be a black fabric checked with gold, but I couldn’t find any material like that and my brilliant plan for making it turned out to be … not so brilliant. So instead I used a fabric that’s woven with gold one way and black the other. But these bands won’t be that difficult to switch out if I ever do come up with the right material.
Thank you! I had seen the trim close-up before, so I knew what sort of material was needed, I'd just had no luck finding anything like it. Do you happen to know if this material has a specific name, so I can look for it online?
I think as long as it's a smooth fabric with a similar luster, it should be fine not to use vinyl on the brown sections. Make sure you flash-test the fabric next to the vinyl first, though; I've found that when mixing fabric and vinyl, camera flash can make them look REALLY different in pictures even if they look similar in person.I'm wondering though, does anyone have any good reference pictures showing the brown sections of the pants that are inside the knee? I didn't even realize that it wasn't black the first time I made them, and this time I want to get the color right. I am not sure how far the brown section extends back/upwards, and I'm not sure the way I patterned it originally will work. And do you think it would be okay to have that section not-vinyl, or would that be too noticeable?
