The Fuchsia flower-pattern sweater vest is offered in S, M, L, 1XL, 2XL and 3XL. There is no selectable XL, and the source chart makes the same jump from L to 1XL. That matters when you plan to wear this sleeveless, non-stretch vest over a blouse rather than directly against the body.

Where does the size chart jump?

The listed bust and waist figures, in inches, are S 34–36 and 26–28; M 37–38 and 29–31; L 39–40 and 32–33; 1XL 43 and 36; 2XL 45 and 38; and 3XL 49 and 41. The L-to-1XL step leaves no stated row for a 41–42 inch bust or a 34–35 inch waist. Do not invent an XL conversion or assume the numerical gap means a particular amount of ease. The source never labels these values as body-size ranges or finished-vest circumferences.

What if my measurements fall between L and 1XL?

For a hypothetical example, suppose your body bust is 41 inches and your waist is 34 inches. Both figures sit in the chart gap. Measure a vest you already like while it is laid flat, then double its chest and hem widths. Put on the blouse you intend to layer underneath and note the room you need at the armholes and hem. Ask for this vest’s finished chest, hem and armhole measurements in L and 1XL using the same method. Without those figures, selecting either size from the published bust and waist rows would be a guess.

Does “no stretch” change the layering decision?

Yes, as a reason to verify movement room. The source describes the vest as non-stretch and 100% viscose, but gives no armhole opening, hem width, length or knit gauge. A blouse sleeve can bunch at an armhole even when the bust number looks adequate. Test your reference vest with a blouse of similar sleeve volume, lifting your arms and sitting down. If the flower pattern or the round neckline must sit in a particular place, ask for a flat front photo of the chosen size with a ruler at the hem and neckline.

What else should I confirm before ordering?

The page lists machine wash cold and tumble dry low, but does not report shrinkage after laundering. Request a care-label photo if wash behavior affects your choice. Compare the live Fuchsia option photo for the actual flower placement; the text does not promise identical motif placement across sizes. For another sweater vest worn over a shirt, see the shirt-layer comparison guide. Use its measurement method, not its size numbers, for this garment.
