Karen Millen Compact Stretch Tailored Tie Front Waistcoat - Black - Size 10

The waistcoat features a signature tie-front detail at the waist. You can tie this securely to cinch the silhouette and create a defined waist, or leave it looser for a more relaxed, draped effect.

The waistcoat is crafted from a compact stretch fabrication, primarily composed of 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, offering both a crisp appearance and ease of movement.

Due to its tailored nature, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's structure and fabric quality.

While designed as a layering piece, the deep V-neckline and tailored finish allow it to be worn as a sophisticated statement piece, potentially over a fine camisole or bralette for a modern look.

The waistcoat has a longline cut, sitting at approximately 65cm in length, designed to create an elongating effect.

This waistcoat is highly versatile, suitable for formal business settings, client dinners, evening events, and can be styled for a sharp, contemporary fashion look.

For a sharp, head-to-toe suiting moment, pair it with matching wide-leg tailored trousers and pointed-toe heels. Ensure the tie-front is cinched for a structured silhouette.

Gently steam the garment on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If necessary, iron on the reverse side with a cool iron.

Ensure the fabric is smooth before tying. Adjust the tightness of the tie to find the most flattering and neatest position. Ensure the garment is on a flat surface when tying.

The compact stretch fabric offers some ease, but the slim fit is intentional. Ensure you are using the tie-front to adjust the fit to your comfort level. Consider the undergarments worn to ensure they do not add bulk.
