McCall's 2260 (which has been rereleased as 8050) is an unlined waistcoat (known as a vest in some places). I made View C; mid-length, straight hem, side-splits, no ties, single button. Although I didn't actually add the button.

Hah. Cue bitter laughing in facings. Glad to see the new version of the pattern has dropped this claim.

I made a Size Large (16-18). This is not a multi-size pattern. I'd forgotten that these exist. Indie companies have me spoilt. It's a bit snug, so I used a waistband hook-and-bar closure instead of a button.

This is made in a medium-heavy weight black (with grey and white) slub woven fabric. I'm never quite sure if I like this fabric. But it reminds me of tv channel static, which I do like. The back has no shaping, so it bunches, but that's to be expected in an unisex pattern. Other than being a little snug there isn't much I'd change about this pattern, except perhaps lengthening the side splits.


Mainly black fabric, with white and grey slubs, in the form of an unlined waistcoat/vest, hanging from a white hanger, against white wardrobe doors.
