Costumes for the Hub (again)
Hussars jacket WIP, again. Re-organised buttons, on Mum's suggestion. Looks better :) Took some better pics, too :)
It started life as this:

I removed the collar and cuff buttons, and my mum hemmed the fronts just past the button holes. I've moved the existing buttons, and added the buttons I had left over from my Jack coats.
Now to add the braid (22m of brand new furniture braid bought for £5 on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=150322005876 ) - around the buttons on the front and in the form of Big Ben (in place of knots etc) on the back. Then the black felt on the collar and cuffs needs to be done.
