• None of the steps are overly difficult, but may require a cup of tea and a little patience when sewing for the first time

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 customization. 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.
