Troubleshooting
Waistcoat does not hang correctly
Ensure the corset back lacing is adjusted evenly. Try a different layering piece underneath, as the fabric and fit of the undergarment can affect how the waistcoat drapes.
Creasing in the linen blend fabric
Linen naturally creases. For significant wrinkles, use a cool iron on the reverse side. Steaming can also help relax the fabric. Proper storage on a hanger will minimize creasing.
Buttons appear loose
Gently check if the buttons are secure. If a button is loose, it may require re-stitching by a professional tailor or seamstress.
