    Description

    Women's size regular, hand crocheted "Hug-me-tight" vest.
    The vest is sized "regular" to fit most adult women who wear size medium to large. The side ties allow for adjustment to a range of sizes.
    Hand crocheted in cream colored wool-look acrylic yarn. It buttons down the front with four large cream colored buttons. Tasseled ties  lace at the sides  and can be adjusted for a flattering fit. The garment is v-shaped front and back. It is crocheted in flattering
    raised
    diagonal rows and it has a pretty scalloped edging around the neck and outside edges which flare over the shoulder area. The arm opening are large enough to accommodate the fullest of sleeves.
    It measures approximately 25" from the top back of the v-necked edge to the bottom edge. Point of the shoulder to the bottom point is 39". The waist can be tightened down to about 35" and can be expanded by loosening the side ties. Due to the nature of crochet work it is quite stretchy and the yarn is soft, warm and comfortable.
    During much of the 1800's and  into the early 1900's many styles of crocheted and knitted vests were featured in fashion magazines. Known by many names such as sontag, spencer, habit shirt, crossover shawl, bosom friend, heart warmer and hug me tight. All refer to a garment that is worn on the upper body.  Many were of the wrap around style known as sontags, but several styles featured buttons down the front.
    The hug me tight is a wonderful, attractive garment which is also very functional. The upper body is kept warm while the arms are left free. The side ties keep the garment close to your body and out of the fire, food, wash water and other hazards women of the period faced in their daily lives.
    The vest is sized "regular" to fit most adult women who wear size medium to large. The side ties allow for adjustment to a range of sizes.
    I suggest the hug me tight be hand washed cold, lay flat to dry, reshape to size. Do not bleach.
