ABOUT THE WAISTCOAT:
Designed to blur the line between tailoring and everyday dressing, the Marlowe waistcoat is a modern wardrobe staple with a softly structured, feminine feel. Cut to be worn as a stand-alone top, it features a sleek, fitted silhouette that gently skims the body for an effortlessly polished look. Wear it solo through summer as a chic sleeveless top, or layered over a fine tee or shirt when the weather cools for an easy year-round piece.
SEWING LEVEL:
This pattern is designed for an intermediate dressmaker. The Marlowe waistcoat is a satisfying intermediate sewing pattern, ideal for sewists who enjoy trying more involved garment construction and exploring elevated details.
You’ll be working with:
- Princess seams
- Fully enclosed lining
- Optional welt pockets
None of the steps are overly difficult, but may require a cup of tea and a little patience when sewing for the first time
RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
This pattern has been drafted for light to medium weight woven fabrics: viscose, cotton lawn, cotton poplin, silk. Something with drape and not too much structure, that will gather easily into the frill.
HOW THE WAISTCOAT FITS:
The Marlowe waistcoat features a softly tailored, semi-fitted silhouette that skims the body without feeling overly structured. Carefully placed princess seams at the front and back create shaping and can be easily adjusted for a more relaxed or closely tailored fit, while generous side seam allowances allow for further fit customisation. Designed to finish at the hip, the Marlowe layers effortlessly with everything from jeans and tailored shorts to flowing skirts, making it a versatile wardrobe staple for every season. Fully lined for a clean, professional finish, it fastens with six or seven buttons for a timeless tailored detail that can be styled sharp or relaxed. The pattern includes B and D cup size options for a more precise fit through the bust, with full guidance on selecting your size provided in the instructions.
