Lovely waistcoat
"Cute waistcoat, looks really good but I ordered it too large but as I’m a tailor it wont be difficult to fix it. If you want a small gap between the laces in the front I recommend choosing a size smaller."

"I absolutely loved this and brought a 12 (my normal size). But the 12 was just too big everywhere, bust, shoulders, back, etc. So I decided to get it in a size 10, but it was still too big on the shoulders. Meaning it sat far too down around the bust area. I’d of needed to take off a good 3 inches off of each shoulder for it to be able to sit where it’s suppose to. I could have kept it and worn it on top of a shirt or dress but I liked the option to wear it on its own, so I returned. I probably would have kept it and get it altered but that would have made an expensive top, even more expensive. However, it is beautiful, soft and has a great zip. Just a same about the shoulder length being to long/big."
"Waited a while for this to come back in stock, and was totally worth the wait! I used the size chart and the recommended size 8 is a perfect fit. I’m 5’1” and had no issues with the straps sliding off which some other reviews mentioned. I love it so much!"
"This is so beautiful and elevates any basic looking outfit. The zip can be a little tricky to fasten as it's at the back but still am very happy with my purchase"
"I like it for the Baba Yaga dress I bought. They look pretty good together for the colder weather. Might be too hot for summer."
"Absolutely stunning. I love this top. The detailing is so lovely. Definitely recommend. Was in a serious car accident in this top and demanded they not cut it off me. The laces in the front and zipper in the back made that possible"
"I'm usually a size 12 but ordered this is a size 12 and 14 to be on the safe side. I thought I'd definitely need a 14 but was surprised that the 12 was better. If you want it to close tightly at the front, go for your usual size or a size larger but if, like me, you want a bit more of the shirt underneath to show through, I'd go with your usual size or size down. The first corset I ordered had to be returned due to really poor finishing - loose threads everywhere! However, the replacement was perfect and a really lovely way to upgrade an outfit."
"I absolutely love this. Works very well over tops and dresses to give an extra wow. It’s not something I’d usually purchase but glad I did."
"Great top. Fits well and is flattering"
"Lovely item to layer over various outfits, just wish it had a bit more structure to it 🙏"
