What occasions is this waistcoat suitable for?

Troubleshooting

Waistcoat wrinkles easily

This is characteristic of linen blends. Use a steamer or iron on a low setting while slightly damp. Consider professional dry cleaning for best results.

Corset back lacing is uneven

Carefully adjust the lacing to ensure even tension on both sides. Loosen slightly before dressing and then tighten for a snug fit.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water. A fabric softener can be used sparingly during the rinse cycle. Lay flat to dry.
