1940s Opera Length Vest Knitting Pattern | Bust 32–42

Elegant in its simplicity, this 1940s Opera Length Vest is finished with a delicate feather-pattern border at the neckline and hem, adding just the right amount of decorative detail. Its long, close-fitting shape makes it a wonderfully versatile garment that can be worn as a traditional vest or adapted into a stylish body-hugging mini dress.

The pattern is provided in three sizes to fit a 32–34 inch (81–86 cm), 36–38 inch (91–97 cm) or 40–42 inch (102–107 cm) bust. It is worked in 2-ply yarn using 3.25mm knitting needles, creating a lightweight garment that’s ideal for layering or wearing on its own.
