FAQs
What size options are available for this waistcoat?
The waistcoat is available in UK sizes ranging from 8 to 18 to accommodate various body types.
Can I wear this without a top underneath?
Yes, the boat neck button-front design is tailored to be worn as a standalone top, though you may also layer it over a thin long-sleeve tee if desired.
How should I store the waistcoat?
It is best stored on a shaped garment hanger to maintain the structure of the shoulders and the overall fit.
Is the fabric suitable for all seasons?
The waistcoat is a versatile layering piece that can be worn in warmer months on its own or transitioned into cooler seasons when layered under heavier outerwear.
What is the primary material care instruction?
Always follow the instructions on the sewn-in care label, typically suggesting gentle cold washing and avoiding high-heat drying methods.
Troubleshooting
Buttons feel loose or look like they may fall off
Check the stitching on the buttons periodically; if a thread is loose, secure it immediately with a needle and matching thread to prevent loss.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer to gently remove creases. If using an iron, always place a protective cloth between the iron plate and the waistcoat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dorothy Perkins waistcoat maintains its shape and colour, always check the interior garment label for specific fabric composition and cleaning instructions. Generally, it is recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying, as this can distort the tailored fit; instead, lay the item flat to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. When ironing, use a low temperature setting and consider using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric finish.
