Note: This pattern requires significant sewing expertise. Not recommended for beginners or those new to garment construction.
🪡 Sew your own oversized pleated vest with this downloadable PDF sewing pattern. The Nova Vest is a sleeveless layering garment with a high neckline, extended shoulders, deep armholes, large patch pockets, and architectural pleated panels that create volume and movement.
The pleated construction is the defining feature of this design. It gives the vest a sculptural, layered silhouette while allowing it to sit easily over shirts, dresses, turtlenecks, and lightweight knitwear. Its long tunic length and practical pockets make it suitable for everyday layering, creative wardrobes, travel, and modern workwear styling.
