This delicate lace-stitch vest is beautifully tapered for a fitted profile. The vertical lace panels form a scalloped edge reminiscent of seashells and mermaids, and the color of the cotton yarn lives up to its Seafoam Green name. This vest is sized very small - the cap sleeve armholes are only 10" in diameter and it's a snug fit on this size 6 mannequin - with some stretch, but not a lot. I would consider it an XS, perfect for a someone slim and petite. The yarn is truly gorgeous, shown to full advantage by the particular stitch called for in the pattern. Definitely a 70s vibes to this piece, but better fitting and more flattering than the crocheted vests from back in the day.
