The Celia Vest is a fully lined waistcoat with a clean, modern silhouette and subtle vintage charm. Featuring a high round neckline, a softly flared hem that hits at hip length, and front button closure, it’s designed to elevate both casual and elegant looks. Decorative welt pockets are integrated into the pattern pieces — meaning no cutting into the main fabric — making this project approachable for confident beginners ready to take the next step.

I really like the design! Unfortunately, I went off my bust measurement but the chest was too big. Took a bit of time for me to get it right. I also did not like the written instructions (with garments I prefer IRL pictures instead of digital drawings). So yes, definitely a nice pattern to have and a nice youtube tutorial but I probably won’t reach for it too quick again
The pattern is self explanatory! The sizes are accurate and I have enjoyed making it every step.
O molde é de muita qualidade, ajuste perfeito. Sou iniciante na costura e consegui fazer graças ao molde e ao vídeo explicativo da Kristina. O meu meu colete ficou lindoooo
The instructions were hard to follow for me sometimes, even with the video, but the endresult is great!
Love this pattern! It goes together very well and is a really flattering shape.

from 53 reviewsThe dress is stunning, easy to sew and the explanations are clear. I didn’t use satin but a coton/elasthane, it add stretching and take the dress to another style. The only thing that didn’t work for me were the mensurations, whenI took them it told me I was a 46 ( I’m a 40/42 with curves). I had to readjust at the end because the dress was waaaay too big. My advice would be to do it in your usual size anddon’t mind the measurements.
Very good!!

really great pattern turns out beautifully
how can i upload the picture?
I made the dress recently. It was fairly easy to make. This is the second dress that I have ever made and her video was really helpful.
Muy lindo, uno de los pocos patrones que venden bien construidos. Están perfectos ningun problema para montarlos.
The most informative and precise digital sewing pattern I have ever found. I printed on a4 and papers matched each other perfectly. I made some modifications to suit my personal styles. Added sleeves. Reached out to seller for some questions and she is very attentive and helpful.
Amazing pattern. Not for a beginner but a lovely chalange to sew!
Ich würde dieses Schnittmuster immer wieder verwenden! Freue mich schon weitere Kleider damit zu nähen :)
Easy to follow and adjust
Great and stylish pattern. Just make sure you select the right size and not the finished size like I did. It came out beautiful but unfortunately I have to make all over again, but that was my mistake. My granddaughter loved it.
Nice pattern, super easy to follow, plus the video tutorial is great!
