Polished Professor Vest or Vest Dress

We are exploring the world of vests, with a twist - the pattern includes a vest dress version too. Just imagine the possibilities! I am particularly excited about the dress version of the vest; it opens up a whole new realm of styling options. Throughout the lessons, I will guide you through various pattern hacks to customize your vest/dress to suit your unique style. Whether you prefer a boxy silhouette or a more feminine curved hem, I've got you covered.

When it comes to customizing your vest/dress, the possibilities are truly endless. You can experiment with different fabrics, colors, lengths, and details to create a garment that is truly one-of-a-kind. For example, you could play with contrasting fabric panels to add visual interest, or embellish your vest with unique buttons or trims for a personalized touch. By exploring these various design choices, you'll not only learn new sewing techniques but also develop a keen eye for design and detail. Remember, the beauty of sewing lies in the ability to tailor garments to reflect your individual style. So, roll up your sleeves and let's get started on creating the vest/dress of your dreams!

Pattern sizing

This pattern comes in sizes 0-38 and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that.

Printing the pattern

When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.

Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.

This file is also a layered PDF so you can print just your size or print just a few sizes. You do not need to print all of the sizes.

You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.
