Winifred Waistcoat
What kind of garment is the Winifred waistcoat?
This pretty vest (waistcoat) is inspired by the fashion of the Victorian period. Among the details of its design we can see a double-breasted crossed front. The neckline is wide and adorned with a pretty lapel collar. The back can be adjusted with a tiny "belt" so that it fits well to the body.
