Troubleshooting
Waistcoat feels too tight/loose
Adjust the corset back lacing to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. If the fit is significantly off, consider if the selected size is appropriate.
Fabric wrinkles easily
Linen blends are prone to wrinkling. Use a steamer or a cool iron on the reverse side. Consider light pressing after dry cleaning.
Buttons feel loose
If buttons become loose, they can be carefully re-sewn using a strong thread matching the garment's color.
