Linen V-Neck Buttoned Vest and Elastic Waist Shorts Set

This two-piece pattern brings together a classic V-neck button-down vest and a pair of easy elastic-waist shorts, designed as a relaxed co-ord set for women. The vest offers a clean sleeveless shape with a front button closure, while the shorts rely on a simple gathered waistband for comfort and quick sewing. The pieces work together as a matching set or separate easily into everyday staples that pair with the rest of a wardrobe.

Linen is the natural choice here, giving the vest structure at the shoulders and letting the shorts fall softly from the waist. Linen blends, cotton chambray and lightweight cotton also suit the design well. Wear the set on warm days, for weekend errands, travel and holidays, or style the vest alone over wide trousers when the weather cools.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter or A4 paper (one file for both), and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
