This vest is the second in the Diamond Tie series. After the popularity of the top I knew a vest had to follow! This vest is cropped and boxy with a cute diamond texture. This vest has two little ties that can be worn at the back or front depending on your mood, it looks great either way! There are directions for two shoulder widths, cut in like the above image, and a slightly wider option. Also don’t worry if she’s too cropped for you, there are options to lengthen within.
