I need some size advice.
My MIL bought yarn some years ago to knit herself a vest. She's now decided she can't do that herself anymore and so I offered to make it for her.
So far no problem, I picked out a pattern that I think she'll like. But I'm not sure, what size to make. She's close to 90 and has become frail and tiny over the last few years. She's a few hours away so I can't just hop over and take some measurements.

Sizewise she's wearing a European 38 / 40 so I decided to go with the M.
But as she's become so short, I'm not sure about the length. She doesn't know her height, but it's maybe 1.55 m (5 ft 1") with a short torso.
Can anybody out there with a similar body type give me a hint on what a good total length for a vest (sleeveless, to be worn over long sleeved thin shirts) would be? I just want to be sure it's in the right ballpark - high hip or a bit longer.
