LADY'S SHAWL COLLAR VEST/ GODEYS VEST
TSB-115

             

     This pattern is for a fitted women’s vest that can be made in either a pointed style or a straight cut style.  The vest is meant to be made with a shawl  collar, but the collar can be omitted if desired This illustration from Godey’s lady’s Book, was part of the inspiration for this vest, hence the name “Godey’s Vest”.

     A solid color vest makes a great wardrobe extender.  .  A wool vest is great for those cooler days, when an extra layer is a must.  Satins, silks or velvets make great evening or fancy attire.  Worn with a skirt of the same fabric and a complimentary body, a vest makes a wonderful outfit. .  A plain skirt and a white body (blouse) was considered “undressed”, but with the addition of a vest a lady became “dressed” The vest or waist gave the ladies opportunity to show off their stitching skills.  They were trimmed with embroidery, braid and other fancy hand work. This vest is a wonderful way to show off your own skills and talents/ Patterns and suggestions are included for braiding and embroidery detailing. 

 

Sizing: 

     The pattern is in four general sizes. It is best to use your bust measurement to choose the size that will work best for you.  The chart shows the corresponding measurements. (Ladies Group Only)
