Simplicity vest sewing pattern — lined, button-front multi-view tops, sizes 16–24 with cup options

A multi-view sewing pattern for lined, button-front vest-style tops in misses sizes 16–24 with separate A/B and C/D cup pieces for a better fit.

This Simplicity S3067 pattern offers four distinct vest designs—classic button-front, contrast-side panels, and two halter-style collars—so you can sew a polished vest tailored to your fabric choice and cup size. The envelope includes printed tissue pattern pieces, clear illustrated instructions, and guidance on recommended fabrics, linings, and interfacing so you can prepare before cutting. Designed and printed in the U.S., this pattern is built for sewists who want structured, lined vests in denim, linen, twill, or suiting fabrics.

What styles and details are included in this pattern?

S3067 contains four views: a button-front vest with lining, a version with contrast side panels, and two halter vests—one with a notched lapel and one with a scalloped shawl collar. Views A, B, and C include topstitching accents for a finished look. The pattern provides separate pieces for different cup sizes to improve fit and tailoring.

• View A: classic button-front, lined, topstitch detail
• View B: button-front with contrasting side panels
• View C: halter vest with notched lapel collar
• View D: halter vest with scalloped shawl collar
• Separate tissue pieces for A/B and C/D cup options

Which fabrics and notions work best for a professional finish?

Choose medium-weight woven fabrics that hold structure—denim, linen, twill, or suiting fabrics are ideal. Use a lightweight fusible interfacing for collars and facings, and select a suitable lining fabric to keep the inside neat and comfortable. Matching buttons, thread, and optional contrast fabric (for View B) complete the look.

• Outer fabrics: denim, linen, twill, suiting
• Lining: lightweight lining fabrics for smooth inside finish
• Interfacing: lightweight fusible for collars and facing stability
• Notions: buttons, matching thread, and optional trim

How do I choose the right size and cup option?

Measure your bust, waist, and high hip and compare to the pattern’s body measurements—Simplicity patterns size differently from store-bought garments. Use the separate A/B and C/D cup pattern pieces to adjust bodice shaping and avoid large alterations later. If you fall between sizes, grade between pattern sizes through the waist and hip for a smoother fit.

• Take accurate body measurements before cutting
• Select the cup family (A/B or C/D) that matches your bust measurement
• Grade between sizes at seam lines if measurements fall between sizes
• Follow envelope suggestions for fabric behavior when choosing size

Is this pattern suitable for beginners or more experienced sewists?

S3067 is accessible to motivated beginners and rewarding for intermediate sewists. The printed tissue pieces and step-by-step illustrated instructions guide you through cutting, sewing the lining, attaching collars, and topstitching. Expect basic garment construction tasks like setting facings, installing buttons, and edge-stitching; prior experience with these techniques helps speed the project.

• Clear illustrated instructions included in the envelope
• Good practice for collar shaping, lining insertion, and topstitching
• Project time and difficulty depend on chosen view and fabric

Who is this for: Simplicity S3067 is a great choice for home sewists who want to create tailored, lined vests in misses sizes 16–24—especially those aiming to customize fit with separate cup pieces or experiment with contrast panels and collar styles. If you enjoy projects that combine structure, finishing details, and fabric choice, this pattern delivers a wearable wardrobe piece you can personalize for everyday or dressier outfits.
