Great addition to your autumn wardrobe

This piece of knitwear is just perfect for days when it gets colder, but it's still too warm for a 'full sweater'. The knit vest is more informal than a normal waistcoat and can be easily styled up (white shirt, tie) or down (pretty blouse). The egg plant colour goes with simply everything.

Absolutely lovely vest. A little short but that’s the style. Very well made!!!
