Old Money Linen Set Vest and Wide-Leg Pleated Trouser

This two-piece sewing pattern brings together a tailored vest and pleated wide-leg trousers for a refined, understated wardrobe built around classic tailoring. The vest offers a clean, structured line over the body, while the trousers fall from a pleated waist into a generous, fluid leg that lengthens the silhouette. Sew the pieces as a coordinated set for a polished monochrome look, or treat them as separates that mix easily with shirts, knitwear and simple summer tops already in the closet.

Linen and linen blends suit both garments especially well, giving the trousers their soft drape and the vest a crisp but relaxed finish. Lightweight suiting, tencel twill, viscose blends and cotton poplin are also worth considering, depending on how structured a result is wanted. The set works for the office, for warm-weather travel, for lunches and gallery days, and dressed up with heeled sandals for evening.

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 A4 paper, 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.
