This fantastic summer vest can be made as you like it! Make it short for a cute summer top. Continue the pattern longer for a playful long vest, or reduce the decreases so it becomes full-length dress! You can even remove the lace section for a simple vest perfect for all seasons.

You’ll love working up this vest so much, you may even want to make several versions. This pattern was originally created for Plyful subscribers in July, 2024.
