Troubleshooting

Waistcoat doesn't lay flat at the back

Adjust the corset lacing at the back to achieve a smoother, more fitted appearance. Ensure the lacing is evenly tightened.

Linen fabric appears creased after wear

This is a natural characteristic of linen blends. For a sharper look, iron on a low heat setting as per care instructions. Consider steaming for a quick refresh.

Buttons feel loose

If a button feels loose, it is recommended to have it professionally re-secured by a tailor or seamstress to prevent loss.
