Reproduction Men's Victorian waistcoats.
Pattern: Butterick B6339.
View D: The understitching is not going to be enough to keep the lining from showing along the collar edge.
This pattern does not use facings on the lining side. The upper edges may need to be prickstitched through to the fashion fabric to keep it from turning.
Green Waistcoat - Size Medium
[20160306]
Green faux (synthetic) silk dupioni waistcoat with deep black polyester satin
collar has green cotton/poly lining, two front
welt pockets, silver colore buttons, and a tie back. This was originally made to match a dress,
but never worn. Note: The understitching is not going to
be enough to keep the lining from showing along the collar edge so
some of the green inner edge may show by the collar.

Finished measurements:
