1940 Waistcoat. Busts 96 cm or 108 cm (38" or 42.5")

This is a classic 1940s waistcoat design with some interesting additional features. The vest has a slightly blouson shape under the bust, a fitted waistline and a peplum-style hip line. Simple features such as the high V-neck, buttons and patch pocket make the front attractive yet functional, as was typical of 1940s clothing. This pattern is available in two original sizes.
