Pattern precision:
If you choose version A in a NON-stretch fabric, you will need to lengthen pattern piece N°4 (lower body band) by 1cm as a child because it is originally intended for a stretchy material and is shorter than the width of the bottom of the vest to be stretched during installation. So for a non-stretch fabric, it will be necessary to lengthen the band piece
