Lucca Vest is a decorative slipover with a fine lace pattern. The vest is designed as a relatively short model to wear over a shirt, blouse or T-shirt – you choose. It comes in seven sizes. The design is relatively tight-fitting with a positive ease of 0-6 cm in order for the pattern to really pop. You can of course choose to make a more loose-fitting version by going up a size compared to your normal size. And you can of course make your model longer than suggested.
