As someone who’s rotund, I enjoy vest they’re comfortable to wear under a fur coat when it’s winter, or just for complementing your image with it by putting it over your longsleeve shirt.
Here I present to you the model of a vest, very convenient for existing in it. On one hand, the belly cut flared downwards corrects ‘complicated and beautiful’ curves of our bodies. On the other hand, tweed yarn, along with purl knitting, adds some kind of bohemianism for every-day clothes.
I made this vest last summer and been wearing it ever since.
