FAQs
Can I machine wash this velvet waistcoat?
No, this garment is made of delicate velvet and must be dry cleaned to prevent damage to the fabric pile.
Does the neckline gape during movement?
No, the waistcoat is precision-tailored to sit close to the body specifically to prevent gaping.
Can I wear this without a bra?
The wide straps and structured fit offer excellent coverage, though individual comfort preferences vary.
Is the fabric heavy?
The velvet is high-quality with a dense pile, providing a weight that helps it hang cleanly and hold its shape.
How should I store the waistcoat?
Store it on a quality, contoured hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Visible creases or flattened spots on the velvet
Gently steam from a distance without touching the fabric directly, or consult a professional dry cleaner for fabric-safe restoration.
Garment feels tight around the bust
Ensure the buttons are properly aligned. If comfort is an issue, consider a professional tailor to adjust the seam allowance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your velvet waistcoat looking pristine, prioritize professional dry cleaning. Avoid harsh pressing or steaming that could flatten the delicate pile of the fabric. When storing, it is recommended to keep the waistcoat on a shaped hanger to maintain the integrity of the shoulder construction. If the garment is packed for travel, fold it gently between layers of acid-free tissue paper to prevent crushing. The waistcoat is designed to complement accessories like pearl earrings or structured clutches, which enhance its rich green texture without distracting from the tailored lines.
