Hi, my name is Jen and I am a goal-oriented individual with a full time job, car, speaks reads writes and studies Japanese, is looking for a goal-oriented, intelligent individual who either likes One Piece or will tolerate me gushing about it from time to time. No haters! Cosplay is a huge plus. Drinking and smoking are okay, just not excessively. NEET, hikikomori, and lolicon need not apply.

http://m-sewing.com/patterns-catalog/women/vests/vest-5017.html that one is okay, but I like how this one is more detailed? Also, it has the shape that you want. While it looks like Luffy's vest it has a more feminine shape. It says use silk or satin but for Luffy I'd just use a broadcloth or any kind of woven fabric (Denim, button-up shirts, not stretchy) because silk and satin is slippy and shiny, jersey (t-shirt material, sweatpants material) stretches too much.

Just a simple vest like this one. I don't have a mannequin. is that necessary? http://www.onepiecez.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Portrait-of-Pirates-Nami-Mugiwara-Ver-Limited-Figure-in-Luffys-Clothes-MegaHouse-2014-e1377977703862.jpg
