Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen Compact Stretch Tailored Tie Front Waistcoat is designed for the modern professional woman seeking a versatile and sophisticated layering piece. Its key benefit is the ability to create sharp, tailored looks that transition seamlessly from the boardroom to evening events, with an adjustable tie-front for a customizable silhouette. A potential caveat is that the compact stretch fabrication, while crisp, may require specific care to maintain its shape.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary material of this waistcoat?

The waistcoat is made from a compact stretch fabrication, primarily consisting of 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane.

How is the fit of the waistcoat described?

It features a slim fit with a longline cut, sitting at approximately 65cm in length.

Can I wear this waistcoat for casual occasions?

While designed with a tailored aesthetic for professional settings, it can be styled for more relaxed editorial looks by wearing it open and draped.

How do I adjust the silhouette of the waistcoat?

The signature tie-front detail at the waist allows you to tie it to adjust the silhouette, cinching it for a more defined look or leaving it open for a draped effect.

What type of neckline does the waistcoat have?

It features a deep V-neckline and a sharp lapel collar.

Are there pockets on the waistcoat?

Yes, it has welt pockets to the front, adding a subtle tailoring detail.

What is the recommended cleaning method?

Due to the compact stretch fabrication, dry cleaning is the recommended method to maintain the garment's shape and quality.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears creased after wear.

Hang the garment immediately after wearing. If creases persist, steam lightly on a low setting or consult a professional dry cleaner.

Tie front is difficult to adjust or becomes loose.

Ensure the tie is knotted securely. If the fabric stretches excessively with frequent tightening, consider professional tailoring advice or alternative styling methods.

Loss of shape or crispness.

Adhere strictly to dry-clean-only recommendations. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the fabric's structure.

Care Instructions:

Material: 96% Polyester, 4% Elastane. The compact stretch fabrication requires mindful care to maintain its shape and crispness.
Washing: It is recommended to dry clean this waistcoat to preserve the integrity of the fabric and tailoring.
Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct contact with high heat, especially on embellished areas if any were present.
Storage: Hang the waistcoat on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain its silhouette.
