Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers based on customer reviews

Fit & Sizing

How does the sizing run on this waistcoat?

Reviews suggest the waistcoat is designed to be quite fitted, with several customers saying it fit perfectly and others adjusting size for their preferred fit. One reviewer who is usually a size 10-12 ended up sizing down from M to XS for a firm fit, while another sized up because it felt quite fitted. Because there is some stretch, your best choice may depend on whether you want a close, tailored fit or a little extra room through the bust and shoulders.

Based on 6 customer reviews
Do the buttons gape, especially around the bust?

Most reviewers were very positive about the press studs placed between the buttons, saying they help prevent gaping and are a great design feature. This was especially appreciated by customers who are between sizes or fuller in the bust. One reviewer did notice slight gaping around the upper armhole/bust area, but specifically said there was no gaping across the buttons.

Based on 5 customer reviews
Is this waistcoat suitable if I have a larger bust or broad shoulders?

Customer experiences are mixed but helpful: one broad-shouldered and busty reviewer said the vest fit perfectly and loved the press studs for bust-area fit. Another customer with a larger bust found it flattering but noticed a little gaping near the upper armhole/bust area, and one reviewer said they would need to alter the shoulder area. If you carry more through the bust or shoulders, the stretch and press studs may help, but fit through the armhole/shoulder area could vary by body shape.

Comfort

Is the waistcoat stretchy or structured?

Reviewers describe it as fitted and well made, but with some stretch in the material. One customer sized down for a firm fit and specifically noted that the material stretches, while another sized up because it was quite fitted but also said it had some stretch. Expect a tailored look with a little give rather than a loose, relaxed fit.

Performance

Are the press studs a good feature or just decorative?

The press studs appear to be a practical feature, not just decorative. Multiple reviewers specifically praised them because they stop the front from gaping between buttons and improve the fit through the bust area. Customers called them a great idea and a perfect addition, especially for those between sizes.
