The Spot On Frill Vest was designed to be a versatile feminine vest that can be worn on its own as a cute summer top or layered up so she can be worn all seasons! It’s worked in a simple seed stitch pattern creating this subtle polka dot style detail throughout the whole knit. Fully adjustable with functional tie sides means she can grow with our ever changing bodies, whilst being super cute with little bow details.
