FOLKWEAR SEWING PATTERN

#222 VINTAGE VESTS - FOR MEN AND WOMEN (NOT FINISHED GARMENT)

The #222 Vintage Vests Folkwear Pattern includes three Victorian Vest styles for women and two for men, as well as a bow tie pattern. In Victorian times, gentlemen were not considered properly dressed without 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.

View B is bias-cut for a decorative fabric treatment, features a shawl collar, and ends above the hipbone with a shallow point in front. Like View A, a back waist belt adjusts the fit.
