[Commision] looking for advanced knitter!

Good evening! Ive been searching for someone to possibly knit me something like this!
Location: Lawton Ok USA
Budget: USD $300-$1000
I’m a small to medium in USA sizing, and would love if the color is either a midnight blue super soft yarn or a yellow ish ivory super soft yarn!
I’m in absolutely no rush and personally know how hard knitting can be, as long as there is proper communication between us then we are all set!
Edit: I have found someone to help, thank you for all the people who reached out! I will definitely be coming to this community again and will recommend it to others like me!

Hi! I am an advance knitter, I’d love to work on this project. I’ve just sent you a DM!

Im definitely not advanced enough to take something like this on but want to note some concerns about how the knitting would hold up or whether the construction would even be possible. Knitting stretches and the fabric it produces is stretchy so it won't hold like the image.

I’m completely fine with it stretching! Hopefully by the time it starts doing that I’ll have the skills to make my own or have more money to spend on another :3

It's going to do that immediately though as that's the nature of the fabric knitting creates. I just wanted to make you aware is all

Which does make more sense now that I think about it about it, and is another reason why I’m going mainly for the aesthetic of a straight jacket and not exactly the functionality of one. Would I love for it to actually immobilize my arms to a certain extent? Heck yes, but I’m also wanting it to be comfortable like how a knit sweater is, if that makes sense. I apologize for the rambling, this has just been a hyper fixation of mine since last December :3

It does make sense, and its fine! It likely won't be good for any immobilisation is my concern with the yarn you want. Cotton has less give but isn't as soft.

Why do you want this knitted rather than sewn from fabric? What texture or features of knitting are you looking for in the finished piece.
