A Regency waistcoat in silk

  A  waistcoat suitable for recreating 1790-1810s persona, a staple of a Regency  dandy!

 THis one was made to test a new pattern, designed for the Dandy Across the Ages book.

 I was also practicing on them, trying different techniques - so they are trial versions, not always perfect - if there are any imperfections, it will be noted in the Features.

  Features:

* fronts in  textured stripy silk, lined with cotton, lapels and facings in silk

* decoration with silk ribbons, based on an extant waistcoat.

 * back in 1 layer cotton twill

* 2 welted pockets - also with decoration

* grown on collar

* single breasted

* ties at the back to adjust the sizing

 * inside finish by overlocker - the side seams can be easily taken in if smaller size is needed

 *  back armholes bound with cotton bias tape

*  silk  ribbon  covered buttons.
