However, upon some consideration, I decided to grade the vest to accommodate larger sizes because it is one of the easiest ways to add warmth and elegance to your wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A long sweater vest makes the eye go up and down on a plus-size body rather than side to side, creating the illusion of the person being taller.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at the illustration below and see for your selves; the rectangles on the side represent the vest; notice how a vest in a darker color will give the illusion of a more narrow silhouette while the ones in lighter tones  (B and E) make them more expansive but still manage to force the eye up and down. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"412\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-1-500x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77058 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-1-500x412.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-1-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-1-150x124.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-1-250x206.jpg 250w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-1.jpg 629w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;
