1939 Waistcoat 102 cm (40.2") bust

Also available as a PDF pattern

This is a simple and yet timeless vest.
The princess-lines, which join the armholes, shape the front bust and waistline. These lines provide opportunities to fine-tune the fit. The neckline has a simple faced edge that folds back to form a collar. The original sketch shows how striking the design can look when made from traditional checks and tweeds cut on the bias grain.

Available in one original size.
