Friends that sew! I am looking for a consult on directions for a vest. I'd like to make one for myself, but here's the thing -- I really want the design to have longevity for changes in the body (ideally I'd like the clothes I make to be wearable for several years, and I do plan to have a kid in the next half-decade or so... I have no illusions that my body is going to be the same shape after that lol).
So the ask is -- any suggestions for what to look for in a pattern that could accommodate this? Open to both styling ideas (ie. here's a design for a vest that's meant to fit a little oversized) or design ideas (ie. here's a pattern that integrates a back stretch I trust, or a lace-up element).
Thanks for your help!
