1955 Waistcoat 96 cm (37.8") bust

Also available as a PDF pattern

A mid-50s waistcoat with simple design lines. The low-cut curved neckline lengthens the upper torso and the waistline is shaped with slimming darts. The original sketch shows the vest worn over a simple knitwear piece, but the neckline will elegantly frame the front of a lovely blouse worn underneath. The armhole is cut a bit lower for comfortable wearing ease.
