Women's Classic Tailored Buttoned Waistcoat Vest

This classic tailored waistcoat is a timeless layering piece for women who want a sharp, structured look. The design features a flattering V-neck, a buttoned front closure, and a back adjuster that lets the fit be refined at the waist for a clean silhouette. It works as a standalone top or as part of a coordinated suit, and the straightforward lines make it a satisfying project for anyone wanting to practise tailored finishing.

Crisp suiting fabrics such as wool, wool blends, gabardine, or a sturdy cotton twill hold the shape best, while linen blends give a softer, warm-weather version. Wear it to the office over a shirt, dress it down with jeans and a tee, or style it with matching trousers for weddings and evening events.

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. All sizes are layered in one file, so you print only the size you need.
