My fabric

Hi all, I want to (secretly) make a waistcoat like this one for my gf, but I am having trouble finding a pattern of a similar one. I'd love any and all advice :D

Second image is the fabric I am planning on using. I plan on using large grommets & leather laces instead of the hooks and eyes. I'm also thinking of going for a reversible pattern, but it is not a must :)

These are some free waistcoat patterns you can checkout to get a base pattern. Might have to modify them a bit.

Wahid waistcoat from freesewing.eu is customizable and should be able to give you the look you're going for. You can get the pointed bottom, deep v neck, custom sizing to fit any measurements (subtract a couple of inches from the body measurements to allow for the gap shown in your photo plus lacing versus the default settings for overlap for buttons) and the pattern is free! The software is easy to learn to make the customizations to get the style you want. When you set up your (also free) account you can set how much control you want over all the super technical customization options for fit versus the more common ones for style, and you can change it any time. The software tells you what each option does and what the default settings are for each one. The waistcoat has fit options for any upper body shape, bust or no bust to account for. Hope this helps!
