Minimalist High-Neck Zip-Front Sleeveless Crop Top Vest

This sleeveless crop top vest brings a clean, modern silhouette to a everyday wardrobe. The high neckline frames the shoulders and collarbone, while the exposed metal zipper runs down the centre front for a sporty, utilitarian finish that doubles as the closure. Cropped at the waist, it suits sewists who like minimal lines and a garment that comes together without fussy details.

Stable knits such as ponte or scuba hold the high neck and cropped hem beautifully, while firmer woven fabrics like cotton twill, denim or lightweight canvas give a more structured, vest-like shape. Wear it layered over a long-sleeve tee in cooler weather, paired with high-waisted trousers or a matching skirt for a put-together look, or on its own for warm-weather days and studio sessions.

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.
