A fitted women’s vest that can be made with either a pointed or a straight cut front. The vest is meant to be made with a shawl collar, but the collar may be omitted. A solid color vest makes a great wardrobe extender. A wool vest is great for those cooler days, when an extra layer is a must. A plain skirt and a white body (blouse) was considered “undressed”, but with the addition of a vest a lady became “dressed.” Patterns and suggestions are included for braiding and embroidery detailing. The pattern is in four general sizes: Petite, Small, Medium and Large.
