Flattering Princess Line Vest (25) Advanced Beginner to Intermediate
The princess seam is flattering for all figure types and so easy to fit. See how a few body measurements will help you align the princess curve to your body. It’s quick to add or subtract width for the bust area and to lower or raise the curve on the pattern. Measure your body, then fit yourself by trying the adjusted pattern by sewing a muslin test copy. Pockets are closed with an invisible zipper and hidden in the princess seam. A stand up collar and zippered front complete this very wearable vest!
