The Nelly vest is the perfect addition to a casual outfit on cool days. You can simply wear it over a shirt or a blouse. This not only looks great but also keeps you warm. It loosely flatters your natural body shape without adding bulk.
You can sew the vest with or without a hood. Both variations are, of course, included in the pattern. The vest has also been professionally graded in sizes XS to XL. Its length has been adjusted for a height of 175cm. If you are significantly shorter or taller, you should adjust the length accordingly.
Fabric Recommendation (See "Suitable Fabrics to Combine" below)
Nelly is sewn with raw edges, so the material must be suitable for this purpose. It's best to use boiled wool, softshell, or a thick sweatshirt fabric.
