I love vests. Living in central Florida means no heavy clothes and a vest made from light weight yarn and an open pattern is perfect. I am a larger lady and tall so they cover so many sins and pull the look together. I have loved them ever since Bea Arthur started the trend for big ladies back on her TV show, Maude. Yes, there was life before Golden Girls.
