Elegant design but not for me

Not for me, I'm afraid. It rather gaped open where I want to hide the tummy

Great fitting waistcoat.

Yes, I recommend this

I brought this on a whim ! actually, it looks very nice, it fits very nicely ,doesn't show your underwear . I did size down to a size 14 and it was a perfect fit. The material is nice and soft ,the waistcoat is lined.It did arrive crumpled but after an iron, it looked much better !

An Investment Piece.

Yes, I recommend this

This is one of those wardrobe staples that is so useful and can be worn with so many different styles of outfits - over shirts with jeans for a relaxed look, with skirts of any length and over blouses (or even without!) and of course with skirt or trouser suits for a smarter, more formal look whilst adding interest, especially if in a contrasting colour (that's most colours if you buy the neutral beige shade) The fabric weight is enough to smooth out lumps and bumps without being too heavy. Basically, I'll be wearing this for years to come. An investment piece that looks more expensive than it is. Excellent.

Love love love! Perfect fit, really well made

Yes, I recommend this

Love this waistcoat. It fits so well (I’m an 18) and is really great quality. I got it to team with a linen maxi skirt and it works really well. This is lined, which surprised me, but it’s a great piece of summer tailoring.

Great for the fuller bust.

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful linen style waistcoat, great for those of us with the bigger boobs. Must have tried 20+ other waistcoats from various retailers, this is the only one that comfortably fits larger bust. This is a good length, it is a tailored fit that enhances shape.

Very flattering

Yes, I recommend this

Saw in store and bought it, I’m 14-16 curvy, the 14 fits lovely and is very flattering synching in the waist, great length that covers the bum. Lovely thick linen that doesn’t crease too much. Lost on star as a little uncomfortable around the neck, a mixture of a little bulky and texture material but happy with it overall. Slightly overpriced.

Super sytlish waistcoat

Great styling, matches well with the trousers and jacket as a full suit, or on its own with jeans. Great cut and if a size 8 the size 6 may be a better fit. My daugher got the trouser in an 8 regular and is 5ft 3 and the waistcost & jacket in size 6.

Nice neutral waistcoat

Yes, I recommend this

Nice neutral waistcoat in a linen blend. Runs quite big, I bought a 10 and had to send it back & buy an 8. I do think it’s a little expensive but I bought the trousers & blazer last year & waistcoat was continuously sold out. It’s not quite an exact match but I like the waistcoat anyway.

Really nice fabric, stylish waistcoat which looks really classy. Good colour as can be mixed with many things for the Spring. Length is good and amazing to still see spare buttons added in the seam!
