Very disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

Bought this waistcoat for my holidays, wore it once, after washing as instructed the quality of the fabric was awful! It had faded and looked liked I had had it years! Very disappointed as it really looked good when new. Had to return it.

Faded after one wash

No, I don't recommend this

As other reviewers have said, the item faded badly after one wash. Very disappointing given the price and expected better from M&S. It’s a shame because I got lots of compliments from the first wear but now looks awful.

Absolutely amazing

Yes, I recommend this

Stunning outfit with matching shorts, material is lovely, some customers may find the cross over a little low, but is fine with garment underneath

Great outfit

Yes, I recommend this

I bought the matching shorts to go with this waistcoat and it made a really lovely outfit. Yes, the shorts are quite short and not for everyone but the style and colour look really great, I had lots of comments when I wore it. When I tried it on, both belt loops fell off so I had to stitch them back on. I’ve still given it 5* though because I love the outfit so much. Haven’t washed it yet so crossing my fingers it’ll look ok afterwards.

Sizing

Yes, I recommend this

A little big - I find that M&S don’t have reliable sizing anymore - I bought this in a 8, and it was big under the arms, I bought a couple of other tops on the same day in an 8 and they were small! I have had trousers in a 8 that are small but then take a 6 in jeans - ???

Fabric faded after 1 wash

No, I don't recommend this

Unfortunately after one wash the colour faded significantly. It is very sad, as the design is very nice and I would have loved to use this for way longer. I don’t recommend it.

Beautiful Waistcoat

Although the waistcoat is on a pricier side (£55) it is worth every penny. The quality, the linen like fabric, the fit are just spot on! I love wearing it, it is very flattering and it washes well. I hand washed it a couple of times and I had no problems with ironing it either. I absolutely love it! Well done M&S!

Linen Blend waistcoat

Yes, I recommend this

I love the cut and colour its stunning I did also buy the matching shorts however they are way too short and barely skim my cheeks! I am tall but as a maturer lady despite gym works out being slim the shorts just don't work and if I can't find a suitable bottoms then the waistcoat may also have to be returned - gutted !
