Troubleshooting

Corset back lacing is uneven or too tight/loose.

Gently adjust the corset ties, ensuring even tension on both sides. Refer to styling guides for best practices in lacing for a comfortable and flattering fit.

Fabric appears creased after wearing.

This is characteristic of linen blends. Hang the waistcoat and allow it to air out, or use a low-heat iron or steamer to smooth out wrinkles. Proper storage can minimize creasing.

Buttons feel loose.

If buttons feel loose, carefully re-sew them using a strong thread that matches the original color. Ensure the thread is secured tightly.
