This plain white/yellowed cotton vest was cut from one piece of cloth and doubled for thickness but made without shaping. It closes in the front with four buttonholes--buttons removed--and has both a straight hem and neckline. The shoulder straps are simple woven tape attached at the front and back of the shoulders.
