Double-breasted vest (1897)

Superlative System of Cutting Ladies' Garments (1897) Double-breasted vest (1897)     I made this one myself. It really is a vest, one that really ends at your waist. Also the shoulder seam is really interesting, it doesn't sit like modern designs, it's more on the back side. I battled a lot with the instructions, I often cannot understand the terms used and their meaning is often taken for granted, so a vague understanding of what measurement is needed can be useful.

The cutters' practical guide to the cutting of ladies' garments.. (1890) Vests (1890)     Instructions (Hints, Seam placement, Front variations etc) to be found from page 21 onwards (see link above for the book), all the vests cover many pages and it's exhausting.
