Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen tuxedo waistcoat is designed for adult women seeking a sophisticated, contemporary piece for special occasions. Its key benefit lies in its unique halterneck silhouette and structured lapel, offering a modern twist on classic tailoring. A potential consideration is its slim fit, which may require careful attention to sizing for optimal comfort and style. The waistcoat features a satin back crepe fabric for a refined finish, a halterneck design for a bare-shoulder look, and a structured lapel collar for a sharp, suiting-inspired detail. The slim fit construction ensures a sleek silhouette, complemented by a center front pleat for architectural interest.

Troubleshooting

Fit is too tight or too loose

Consult the size guide carefully before purchase. If the fit is still not ideal, consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments or explore available sizing options.

Fabric appears creased

Hang the garment carefully. For persistent creases, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, ensuring no direct heat is applied to the satin. Professional steaming may also be effective.

Stain on the satin fabric

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth if possible, but professional dry cleaning is the safest method for stain removal on satin to prevent damage.
