Welcome to lacy day vest!

The Lacy Day vest is a modern, feminine layering piece designed for effortless, everyday wear. With its flattering V-neck and relaxed fit, it adds a soft and elegant touch to any outfit.
Worked seamlessly from the top down, the construction begins with the back panel, followed by the front sections that are shaped to create the V-neckline. The pieces are then joined to form the body, allowing you to easily adjust the length to your preference.
This versatile vest is perfect for layering over a blouse or a fitted turtleneck during colder months, while its breathable yarn combination also makes it ideal for the whole year paired with a simple T-shirt or worn on its own. Finished with clean I-cord edges, it offers a polished and contemporary look that fits seamlessly into any wardrobe. And if you size down or make the I cord edge a bit tighter, you can also wear it as a top.
