The vest has a significant negative ease at the hips as it is meant to sit open at the bottom, a slight negative ease across the bust, and then significant positive ease at the neck (it pulls together to button up at the side).

The cowl neck is worked separately and sewn on. The neck of the vest can be worn folded over or buttoned up the neck.
