skirt worn by legendary rancher and rodeo rider, Fannie Sperry Steele.

poplin, denim, gabardine, corduroy; linen; light to medium-weight wools;
suiting weight silks. Multi sized misses 8-18 included in pattern.

#F222 Vintage Vests For Women and Men
Victorian gentlemen at the end of the 1800s needed a vest or waistcoat to
be considered well-dressed, and smart Victorian women often paired vests
with walking skirts for street wear. Our vests offer a variety of styles,
including collarless V-neck, bias-cut vest with shawl collar, and short
front-darted style. Traditional bow tie, with instructions for tying, is
also included. Suggested fabrics: Medium to heavyweight fabrics of cotton,
silk, wool, linen, synthetics or blends with or without nap, such as
brocade, velvet, corduroy, canvas, pique, velveteen, or synthetic suede.
The bias cut of the shawl-collar vest is especially suitable for stripes
or plaids. Multi sized misses 6-16; Men's 36-44 included in pattern.
Approximate yardage required for 45"
wide fabric for misses 3/4 yards, for men's 7/8
yards.
