The waistcoat is made from satin back crepe fabric, known for its refined surface and subtle sheen.

What makes this waistcoat different from a traditional one?

Troubleshooting

Waistcoat wrinkles easily.

Ensure proper storage by hanging the garment. If wrinkles appear, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, avoiding direct contact with the satin.

Satin fabric feels stiff.

This is characteristic of satin back crepe. Gentle steaming (from a distance) or professional dry cleaning can help soften the fabric over time.

Fit is too tight in the bust or waist.

The slim fit is designed to be close to the body. Consider pairing with looser-fitting bottoms to balance the silhouette, or consult a tailor for minor adjustments if possible.
