Troubleshooting

Waistcoat feels too tight or restrictive

Consider the garment's slim fit design. Ensure correct sizing was selected. For alternative fits, explore other styles or consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Hang the waistcoat on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow creases to fall out. If persistent, use a cool iron on the reverse side, protecting the satin finish.

Difficulty finding suitable undergarments

Opt for adhesive bras or backless solutions. The halterneck design may accommodate specific bralette styles, but careful selection is key to maintaining the intended silhouette.
