Does this come in teenage and adult sizes
Not at this moment but both are in the process of being completed!
Just checking in to see if you have had the opportunity to complete the teen sizes yet. My step-daughter will be 13 soon and I previously started a circle vest in two shades of blue, but I really don’t like how it was looking so i stopped. I really would like to make this or something similar for her.
Hello! You can find all the other sizes here: https://blog.crystalized-designs.com/lollipop-vest-adult-sizes/
They are the adult but you can use these for teens as well.
