Here you can see the beginning of the transformation which was accomplished by laying cotton lace pieces on the vest and spraying over them with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 bleach.
The other side of the vest front was altered by laying on a fern I cut from out in the yard and then spraying over it also. Because the spray bottle does drip occasionally this side looked a lot like a fir tree out in a snowfall.
Then I added some white and silver beads in a free form design and finished by removing those very boring black buttons and attaching five all different buttons to complete the look. The overall look is stunning!

Wow you have really transformed an ordinary vest to a wonderful art piece. dee
The discovery was quite exciting!
I am almost speechless. The vest is spectacular and even more breathtaking in person. In my humble opinion, it's Grrrrreat!
Wow! I just love when you do that. I am going to have to buy some bleach. ... can't let you have all the fun!!!!
Are there any fabrics you wouldn't use bleach on? Kathy
Kath,
Bleach will only work on natural fabrics like cotton and linen. Sometimes a fiber mix will give you results, like a cotton polyester mix. It's just a game finding out!
