This waistcoat is designed for petite frames (women's UK size 8 as specified). Ensure you select your usual petite size for the optimal fit. The adjustable back strap allows for minor fit adjustments to achieve perfect waist definition. It is compatible with other sophisticated bridal separates, particularly matching wide-leg trousers, and can be accessorized with delicate jewelry and elegant hairstyles. To maintain the garment's pristine condition, follow the care instructions on the label. As it is crafted from a smooth crepe polyester fabric, professional dry cleaning is generally recommended to preserve its structure and fabric quality. If machine washing is indicated on the care label, use a delicate cycle with cold water and lay flat to dry to avoid shrinking or damage. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat when cleaning.
