The Karen Millen Tailored Waistcoat is a sophisticated garment designed for women who seek a refined, sculpted silhouette for formal events like weddings, graduation ceremonies, or race days. Crafted from high-quality satin with a subtle sheen, this piece offers a versatile aesthetic that bridges the gap between daytime elegance and evening glamour, though its structured design requires careful handling to maintain the integrity of the fabric and shape.

While intended for formal events, it can be styled for an office environment if paired with modest trousers or a professional skirt.
Due to the satin material and structured design, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve the fabric.
The waistcoat is designed with structured seams for a tailored fit, so it offers minimal to no stretch. It is best to choose your true UK size.
Due to the intricate seam panelling and tailored construction, major alterations are difficult. Consult a professional tailor if minor adjustments are needed.
Satin can be sensitive to liquids. If you spill something, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth—do not rub—and take it to a professional cleaner.
Use a garment steamer on a low, delicate setting from a safe distance, or have the item professionally pressed.
Inspect the thread on the covered buttons and reinforce with a needle and thread if the button wiggles or appears strained.
Ensure the garment is not being over-stretched; check if the size corresponds correctly to your current body measurements and adjust layering underneath if necessary.
To ensure your waistcoat retains its tailored shape and lustrous finish, always follow the garment's specific care instructions. Due to the delicate nature of satin, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid distorting the seam panelling or damaging the fabric sheen.
When storing, use a padded hanger to prevent the shoulders and armholes from losing their shape. Avoid hanging the garment in direct sunlight, as this can cause the vibrant colours to fade. Before wearing, ensure all buttons are securely fastened to maintain the intended silhouette. Because this item uses specific UK sizing, verify your measurements against the Karen Millen size guide to ensure a comfortable fit around the bodice and waist.
