FAQs

What material is the waistcoat made from?

The waistcoat is crafted from a breathable lyocell and linen blend.

How should I adjust the corset back?

The corset back allows you to adjust the fit by tightening or loosening the lacing. For a slimmer fit, pull the laces tighter; for a looser fit, ease the tension.

Can this waistcoat be worn on its own?

Yes, the design with its collared neckline and button front makes it suitable to be worn as a standalone top, especially for transitional or evening wear.

What occasions is this waistcoat suitable for?

It is ideal for professional settings, business meetings, smart-casual events, and can be styled for evening occasions.

How do I care for this linen blend waistcoat?

It is recommended to dry clean the waistcoat only. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying.

Does the waistcoat come with matching pieces?

The waistcoat is often shown styled with a matching skirt for a coordinated ensemble, though availability of matching items should be checked separately.

Troubleshooting

Waistcoat appears wrinkled

Gently press on the reverse side with a cool iron or consider professional dry cleaning. Store hung to minimize creasing.

Corset back lacing is uneven

Loosen the lacing completely, then re-lace evenly, ensuring tension is consistent on both sides for a symmetrical fit.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure you are following the recommended dry cleaning instructions. Some stiffness is normal with linen blends and can soften with wear.
