The Modern Sewing Co | Devon Waistcoat | PDF Pattern

Description

The Devon Waistcoat is a versatile, stylish layer no matter the season, with a relaxed fit and unique design features. The fastening options gives each piece a different personality and the lining enables extra cosy winter versions or a lightweight summer finish, which could even be reversible. 

Sizing: 

UK Sizes 4 – 28 (with PDF Layers)

The Devon Waistcoat is a simple cut that can be made fitted or oversized depending on how you imagine wearing it. Your ‘true’ size (the size you would normally select) will fit well over light layers. If you‘d like to wear your waistcoat over thicker winter jumpers you might like to choose one or two sizes bigger.
