Plaid Tailored Cropped Vest and Wide-Leg Palazzo Pants Set

This two-piece pattern pairs a cropped, tailored vest with pleated wide-leg palazzo trousers for a coordinated suit set with a classic plaid sensibility. The vest is fitted and ends above the waist, while the trousers fall from soft front pleats into a long, fluid wide leg, so the proportions balance each other whether the pieces are sewn as a set or worn separately with other items in the wardrobe.

Suiting fabrics with a little structure give the cleanest result, so consider wool suiting, a plaid flannel, gabardine, or a mid-weight twill. Drapier blends and tencel suiting soften the trouser silhouette if a more relaxed line is preferred. The set suits office days, meetings, and smart evening plans, and the vest alone works well over a shirt or knit in cooler months.

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, with a combined US Letter / A4 file as well, 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.
