Freja is a sleek, semi-fitted vest that embodies a modern and minimalistic style. Princess seams create a smooth, contoured fit, highlighted by a defined waistline. The front gently flares out from the waist, adding lightness and contemporary flair.
The vest is fully lined and reaches the lower hip. It features a back buckle and belt detail that cinches the waist and adds visual interest.
The pattern includes two pocket options: discreet welt pockets for a refined, tailored look, and practical rounded patch pockets for a casual style. The Freja Vest pattern now also comes with an optional unlined version, perfect for lighter fabrics or a softer, more relaxed silhouette. The add-on includes an alternative front facing, and the instructions guide you through this variation using front and back facings, with edge finishes that can be serged or bound.

Sizing
Sizing
I draft and grade my sewing patterns for a height of 5’5” (1.65m) from size 34 to 60 (see below). When applicable, the size range is divided between 34-46, developed for B/C cup size, and 46-60, developed for a DD cup size.
If your body measurements are at least one size outside of the size range, I grade up or down at no cost.
See the sizing page for more information.
Choose your size closest to your bust measurement. If you are a size 46, use the size range 34-46 if you are a B/C cup, and 46-60 if you are a D cup and above.

Measurements in centimeters, then inches.
I wear the grey suiting version in size 34 with the welt pockets and no alterations, with a denim version of the Tatjana Trousers and a lace Stephanie skirt. I also wear the unlined version with the patch pockets, made from organic cotton Toile de Jouy, in size 34. Pauline wears her brown linen Freja in size 46 (of the 34-46 range) with the waist relaxed. Lilli wears a green linen one in size 50 with no alterations.
Fabric and yardage
Fabric and yardage
Samples are all sewn in heavy-weight linen suiting and mid-weight linen with an acetate or thin cotton lining. For this pattern, I recommend medium-weight woven fabrics with a good drape, such as wool suiting, wool crepe, lightweight wool tweed, cotton twill, linen, and linen-cotton blends.
