We found it at Pennsic, and I said at the time "wow, it has nothing to do with out Period, but that's gorgeous". So, Bob insisted I try it on. I waffled about getting it (omgitwasperfectbutexpensive), and Bob told me to go get it and he would pay for it. So I went over - and they only had one left in my size, and it was the display model, and it had some issues with the grommets, so I got it cheaper.
Score. I can fix the grommets (I did).
I love it - it wasn't pulled particularly tight on Saturday, since I was going to wear it all day on the Metro and stuff, and it can go considerably tighter around the waist.
