Des' velcro-free option is awesome (IMO)! I assume she does the vest harness the same as the dress harness (Des...is that correct), and if so, she uses those black clips like you'd have on a hip pack or something, to clip it around your waste (does anyone even remember hip packs besides me?? I'm not sure why that came to mind

). Or like the clip most harnesses use to clip closed. On the dresses, she puts 2 of those on the underneath side, and they are very secure...again IMO!
