Troubleshooting

Waistcoat appears creased after storage

Hang the waistcoat in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side. Ensure it is properly steamed or ironed before wearing.

Corset back is too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing on the corset back. Loosen it for more room or tighten it for a more fitted silhouette. Ensure the adjustment is even on both sides.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

This is often normal for linen blends. The fabric will soften with wear. If excessive stiffness persists, consult with a professional dry cleaner.

Cons

  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on embellishments or the corset lacing.
  • Storage: Store the waistcoat on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain its shape. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
