Lales’ Frame Vest is an open vest.
A fit that covers the shoulders sufficiently makes a lovely mood, and the main floral pattern amplifies vintage and lovely.Two designs are included, simple and ribbon version. So you can choose what you prefer. The ribbon version is tied with a ribbon at the side for a more lovely look, while the simple version is buttoned at the side for a more casual and comfortable look.

Pattern
This design is worked bottom up, working the front and back panels separately. After connecting the pieces by the shoulders, you will work the button bands, collar, and side bands by picking up stitches. The sides are not seamed together, and options are provided to select between ribbon ties and button fastenings.

Size
1, 2 size (simple, ribbon version)

Size Guide
The Lale’s Frame Vest has a smooth, curved fit with shoulder lines that drop below the wearer’s actual shoulders. Since the sides are opened, I recommend having the shoulder width as a standard to measure the fit. This design is intended to be worn with 25-30 cm positive ease. Thus, the size you choose should have a width that is 25-30cm wider than the wearer’s own shoulder width.
This measurement is only an approximate. I recommend people with shoulder width under 35cm to choose size 1, and to choose size 2 for those above.
