Minerva Digital Pattern 6007
Introducing a digital pattern for the sleeveless vest with statement patch pockets – Classic Utility with a Contemporary Edge.
WHEN TO WEAR DESIGN 6007
This structured vest serves as a versatile layering essential for multiple seasons and settings:
Cool Autumn Days: Wear over a long-sleeve tee, shirt, or thin sweater for added warmth without bulk.
Winter Layering: Adds texture under coats while highlighting the look with exposed hem and neckline finishes.
Early Spring Outings: Great over flannel or jersey basics for outdoor markets or relaxed weekends.
Creative Workspaces: Comfortable for sewing studios, art classrooms, or casual indoor settings.
KEY DESIGN FEATURES
- Silhouette: Slightly fitted through the shoulder with straight lines through the body; ends at the high hip with a front point detail at the hem.
- Neckline: V-shaped neckline with clean angular shaping and ample room for layering underneath.
- Closure: Open front design with optional zipper placement.
- Pockets: Two distinct oversized patch pockets with curved openings and geometric angles—functional and decorative.
- Hemline: Shaped hem at the front and straight hem at the back.
- Style: Inspired by traditional utility vests, reinterpreted for modern wardrobes with clean construction lines.
