I made a Victorian Waistcoat for the ~aesthetic~ | 1890s vest for everyday historybounding

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! Ever since I made my 1890s (late Victorian) walking skirt, I realised I had enough fabric left over for a matching waistcoat. I was afraid of messing it up, so I kept putting it off, but finally this Winter I decided to tackle it. I used a pattern from the book '59 Authentic Turn-of-the-Century Fashion Patterns' for a jacket and altered it to fit a waistcoat style, or a vest as they seem to have been called. I wanted this to be wearable for every day, without a corset, so I actually fit it over a bra. I got historybounding goals, for whenever we can go outside again. In the video, I go into detail about the construction, such as lightly covering some tailoring techniques, like adding a canvas layer and padstitching the canvas pad and collar. This isn't quite meant to be a tutorial, more of an outline, since there was a lot of learning for me in this. Particularly, I really fumbled the back of the collar, and as you can see, something that really upsets me about the finished vest is that the front doesn't lay flat. I think this may be for a few different reasons: because I didn't include the side panel, I fumbled the front to get extra width out of it. Maybe the spacement of the buttons and maybe the curviness of the bust without a corset... a lot of maybes. I still find it really comfortable and I love the aesthetic, so I will absolutely be wearing it in my day to day! I also particularly loved wearing this with the matching skirt
