Safari Linen Suit Conclusion

Finished.
Im quite pleased with this go around. I really like the extra craftsmanship I took on the facing aspects of the top. I think it helps it lay rather well.

I especially like how the hand tacking of the hems look. Man, I love that stuff.

    Great suit! I love the soft details with the stark fabric - a very flattering contrast. And it fits perfectly.
