Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this waistcoat is constructed from a delicate satin fabric, proper maintenance is essential to keep the garment in original condition.
- Storage: Hang the waistcoat on a shaped velvet or padded hanger to preserve the structure of the shoulder seams and prevent the satin from creasing.
- Cleaning: Given the material and the delicate nature of the covered buttons, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Do not attempt to machine wash, as this may ruin the sheen and the internal structure.
- Ironing: Use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent scorching or flattening the satin sheen. Steam cleaning is generally safer than direct ironing.
- Compatibility: This item is designed in a standard UK size 12 and works best when paired with high-waisted bottom layers to maintain the intended silhouette.
