Troubleshooting
Waistcoat pockets are sewn shut.
Carefully unpick the holding stitches with a seam ripper or small, sharp scissors. Ensure you do not cut the waistcoat fabric.
Waistcoat feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the strap located at the back of the waistcoat to achieve a comfortable and secure fit.
Embroidery appears to be snagged or damaged.
As dry clean only, it's best to consult a professional dry cleaner experienced with delicate fabrics and embellishments for repair.
Satin back is creased.
Attempt to iron on a very low heat setting with a cloth barrier between the iron and the satin, or consult a professional dry cleaner.
