I was literally knocked off my feet when I received this exquisitely crafted vest. It is truly a beautiful garment that I will covet and wear for years to come. I used to knit, so I know passion and perfection when I see it. For reference, to help others who may be looking to purchase one of these special vests, I am 5'2" and about 125lbs. I purchased a size M. The bottom edge is at about the top of my thighs. Violeta, I can not thank you enough for sharing your gift with the world. You seem like an amazing woman!
