222 Vintage Vests - Sewing Pattern

Women's Sizes XS-3XL; Men's Sizes SM-3XL

In Victorian times, gentlemen were not considered properly dressed without a jacket, vest (or waistcoat), and tie. Indeed, even smart Victorian women donned fitted vests for street wear, with walking skirts and long jackets. Today, the vest is still an integral part of business attire and fashion for men and women. 

Folkwear offers sewing patterns for three Victorian Vests for women and two for men. 

Views A and B are originally men's vests, now sized also for women. View C is a closely fitted women's vest. All three are fully lined; the backs are cut from lining fabric for comfort and to reduce bulk.
