Troubleshooting

Waistcoat wrinkles easily

Linen blends are prone to wrinkling. Hang the waistcoat after wearing. For stubborn creases, try a garment steamer on a low setting or iron with a damp cloth.

Corset back is too tight/loose

The corset back is designed for adjustability. Loosen or tighten the lacing gradually until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved. Ensure the lacing is evenly adjusted on both sides.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure you are following the recommended dry cleaning instructions. If the fabric feels stiff after air drying, a gentle steam or a very low heat iron can help soften it.
