Thread Theory - Belvedere Waistcoat

If the product photos are of fabric, the drape photo usually has the best color view, but your monitor settings may vary.

Thread Theory - Belvedere Waistcoat

THE vest pattern to make. It's so well drafted and easy instructions to follow. 

Sew a timeless waistcoat with the Belvedere Waistcoat pattern!  It is the perfect minimalist piece to wear to formal events.  This design features a curved back seam and long darts to fit the garment close to the body.  It includes a back neckline facing for a high-end professional finish.

The instructions and pattern pieces provide for two approaches:

1. Create a tailored waistcoat complete with welt pockets, a fully canvased front and side seam vents.

2. Sew a quick and easy waistcoat with no pockets and simplified construction techniques.

Both waistcoat projects are great scrap busters since it is easy to mix and match fabrics.


Samples in the shop are shown here: a large shoulder graded to medium waist men's wool and silk version for a prom, and a twill and rayon lined women's version. NOTE: Version made for breasts is NOT included in the pattern and required intermediate-level adjustments.


"We began Thread Theory in 2012 with a mission to bring menswear sewing patterns to the forefront of the DIY fashion movement. We have since expanded into androgynous workwear sewing patterns. Along with our extensive Thread Theory pattern line, you will also find a comprehensive catalogue of menswear and workwear patterns from other pattern designers as well as a curated selection of rugged notions and tools in our shop." - Thread Theory
