Notes Inspired by the movie 'Ballerina'
A Herringbone wool vest, full lined with copper satin and featuring leather knot buttons.
I interfaced every piece of the main and lining (except for one side of the collar) with soft hand Sheerweft interfacing.

The back ties were not in the diagram but were in the PDF, they work well.

The instructions were good but I also under stitched all my seams to prevent rolling. The arm openings I had to hand stitch, under stitch.
Rather than piece my delicate lining, I turned the top edge seam allowance under and top stitched my facings to the lining, it worked perfectly.

Once I had finished the edge stitching (but not the arm openings ) I bagged it and pressed it and left it for a few hours. I then when back through the side seam hole and sewed the arm holes shut via the side seam opening (this was fiddly, you pulled some of it back and sewed in small increments but it did work)
I then pressed it well and hand stitched the arm under stitching.
