Troubleshooting

Waistcoat appears creased after wear.

Gently steam the garment or iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth. Wearing it slightly damp can also help reduce wrinkles.

Corset back lacing is too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lacing at the back to achieve the desired fit. Loosen it before putting on or taking off the waistcoat.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions. Mild fabric softener can be used sparingly during the final rinse if hand washing, but professional dry cleaning is preferred.
