Troubleshooting
Waistcoat feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the corset back lacing. Tighten for a more snug fit or loosen for more room.
Fabric appears wrinkled after wear
This is characteristic of linen blends. Hang the waistcoat properly and consider steaming on a low setting or dry cleaning to refresh.
Buttons are difficult to fasten
Ensure the buttonholes are aligned correctly with the buttons. Do not force buttons, as this can damage the fabric or the button.
