Wide Pattern

I really liked the pattern on this vest when I bought it, but I hated the way it looked every time I tried to wear it because it made my torso look extra-wide.  Then I read about something similar on Fashion For Nerds.  She fixed the problem by wearing a cardigan over top, so that it creates vertical lines.  I tried it, and voila!  I call it a success.
