Notes	I have made this vest (my favourite one!) already 3x. It is such a versatile pattern, one can create whatever kind of outlook with it (vintage, modern, classic… there is no end to its limits). I wanted to make a Dirndl costume (vest, blouse and skirt) without looking too ‘Dirndl’ kind of like (so no flowery fabrics, nor embrodery- kind of stuff). So, again I made use of this pattern. The fabric of the vest and skirt I got free of charge from a friend of a friend. It is kind of a sturdy cotton. At its edges I made use of braid in the same color. The vest is fully lined, with a pleat at it’s center back.
