  can we get a plus size version? a well endowed woman (you know in the chest area) i dont think could wear this. i would need at least one more size for this. i know trying to resize myself doesnt always work. please?? i think other people would agree it would help to have a plus size version. doesnt everyone want cute clothes? and be able to make them too?

  I like the vest but had to dig around to see what sizes it came in. How about putting the size range in the description of the vest?

  Is there going to be a pattern for those pants?

  Good job BS! I love your choice of the fabrics! Corduroy & leather are perfect match!

  Crazy stuff, I think BurdaStyle are reading my mind too as I was wanting to make a vest! Not sure if I’ll go for this pattern or the Franzi though, because the vest I had in mind would mean alterations to the pattern either way! Great to see Monday projects back though :)

  Yes it’s very cute but… Well the vests have to show curves, and be fitted. And this vest isn’t so. Sorry but I think that the vesy should FIT the body shape, and show it off. In this case the vest is just hovering… :|

    I agree! In the first picture it looks really good, but then you look at the others… I hope it’s a case of the model was maybe a little smaller than the size made?

    The model was a bit smaller than the size of the vest, hence it looking a bit loose. The princess seams and belt in the back will help you achieve those form fitting lines you desire!

    Thanks, I’m sure the vest will look great on a bigger size:) But the photos are a bit misleading

  I’m loving the return of proper Monday patterns, and this waistcoat is so awesome! I was kind of over them but the fabric choice is really cool. Modern and yet a bit steampunk – what more could you want? I love you guys, Burdastyle.

  I think BurdaStyle is reading my mind. First the leggings, then the flowy cardigan and now this vest! Everything I’ve been wanting to make for my wardrobe! Thank you.

  Haha, I misread the headline to say, “for your favorite rack” not “your favorites rack”! Cute vest.

  It’s very similar to the Franzi vest. And I agree with ed2122 that $4 for a basic vest is a bit expensive. But other than that, I think it’s really cute.

  This is a cute basic vest. I really like the way you guys made it in corduroy and leather! Very nice. I do have to say, though, that I wish you guys would at least make basic patterns like this one cost a little less. I think $2 would be a fair price – BurdaStyle used to have a lot more patterns for around $2, and for something basic, I think that’s reasonable. Just my two cents!
