Finally a vest that fits!

The Hartwell vest was a more involved make than I anticipated, because of the number of pattern pieces and my decision to make the working bound pockets. But the instructions were clear and the tutorial very helpful, so the final product looks polished like it was made by a professional tailor! I started with a size 12 E/F on top, graded to a 16 at waist, then back to 14 at hip. Because I am very short (just under 5’ tall) I shortened both at the torso line and above the bust since I need a shorter neckline and armscye. Thank you for a superb pattern!

Beautiful professional results

This was a challenge for me partially because I made pattern changes across the princess seams. I made 2 test garments just using the main outside pieces. When I started on my final vest, I had trouble converting the pattern changes to the inside facing and lining. I feel like I got a good fit, so I plan on working on the pattern adjustments for the facings and lining for my next vest. I followed the sew a long and it was very helpful.

Structured, Not Stiff

The Hartwell Vest is beautifully drafted and delivers structure without stiffness. The fit is smooth through the bust with no gaping, and the princess seams create a clean, flattering line.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow, resulting in a polished, tailored finish. In worsted wool, it makes a perfect soft-authority layer — comfortable enough to think in, structured enough to feel confident.

I am smitten

I was sitting on a piece of linen waiting for a pattern to call to me, and voila-the Hartwell Vest came alone. The shaping made the 2” fba difficult, and I ended up fine tuning it by pinning, which was a first for me. The result-a beautifully fitted vest that can also double as a princess seam sloper. Win-win.

A smart looking vest and a great sew

I was so excited to make this waistcoat when the pattern was released. I'd planned a prior one but never made it as I needed to make so many adjustments. This one only required me to grade between my bust and waist/top of hip. I omitted the tie at the back only as a personal preference.
My Hartwell was made from a cotton tweed and a silk lining fabric with faux leather buttons.
The pattern has such clear instructions, that using the tailoring techniques needed for this pattern was a breeze. My only advice to anyone hesitant is to double check the marking of the pockets and follow the instructions carefully - they're really solid!
Construction did take me about a day of work, but I really enjoyed taking my time to create such a beautiful garment that I hope to wear for many years.

Lovely vest

This pattern was easy to follow and I am pleased with the final product. I have made three already and plan to make one more with matching pants. You cannot beat the fit of Cashmerette patterns for curvy figures.
