Reviews Summary

The standout detail is the extra fastening between the buttons, especially for customers who are busty or between sizes and want the front to sit smoothly. Reviewers describe the waistcoat as gorgeous, very flattering, and chic, with soft, high-standard fabric that feels more luxurious than expected. Fit feedback is mostly positive, though sizing is not universal: some found it perfect, while others sized up, sized down, or needed shoulder adjustments.

What Customers Love Most

  • Press studs between the buttons that stop the waistcoat from gaping
  • Soft, luxurious-feeling fabric described as high standard and quality
  • Flattering fitted shape that still has some stretch
  • Versatile styling that can be dressed up or down while looking chic
  • Thoughtful fit for bust area concerns, including customers who are between sizes

Customers Say These Are Perfect For

  • Dressing up or down without losing a polished, chic look
  • Women who struggle with button gaping across the bust
  • Customers who want a fitted waistcoat with a bit of stretch
  • A versatile wardrobe item for work, outings, or smart casual styling

Customer Feedback on Quality

  • Fabric is repeatedly described as soft, luxurious, beautiful, high standard, and quality
  • Customers note the material has some stretch while still feeling well made
  • The press-stud closures are praised as a practical construction detail that improves fit and prevents button gaping

Customer Fit Feedback

Most customers report: Mostly true to size with a fitted shape, but fit feedback is mixed depending on bust and shoulder proportions.

Several customers say it fits perfectly, including one who describes being broad shouldered and busty. One reviewer sized down dramatically for a firm fit because the material stretches, while another sized up because it was quite fitted. A couple of customers mention shoulder or upper armhole/bust fit issues, though the closures prevent gaping across the buttons.

Fit & Sizing

How does the sizing run on this waistcoat?

Sizing feedback is mostly positive, with 6 reviewers discussing fit and several saying it fits perfectly. However, the waistcoat is quite fitted: one customer sized down for a firmer fit, while another sized up because of the close cut. If you are between sizes, consider whether you prefer a snug tailored look or a little extra room around the bust and shoulders.

Based on 6 customer reviews
Will this work if I have a larger bust or am between sizes?

Several reviewers with bust-fit concerns had positive experiences, especially because of the press studs between the buttons. One broad-shouldered, busty customer said it fit perfectly, and another said the closures prevented button gaping. That said, one reviewer with a larger bust noticed slight gaping near the upper armhole/bust area, so fit may depend on body shape.

Based on 3 customer reviews
Should I be concerned about the shoulder or armhole fit?

A few reviewers mentioned shoulder or upper armhole fit. One broad-shouldered customer said the vest fit perfectly, but another said they would need to alter it around the shoulders, and one noticed slight gaping near the upper armhole/bust area. If you often have fit issues in the shoulder or bust area, check the measurements carefully before ordering.
