Extremely well made and true to size

Yes, I recommend this

Amazing value for such a well made and flattering tailored waistcoat. True to size unless you want to wear a winter jumper underneath and then I would size up. A very stylish item that changes a look completely

Perfect

Yes, I recommend this

You can always trust M&S when it comes to the crunch - you need something specific, that fits and that will arrive in time. I had been looking for a black waistcoat and been disappointed with size and style from other vendors and then I had to have one for a funeral. This is a perfect fit for my prescribed size, perfectly made and arrived when it said it would. Not sure why I bothered trying anywhere else!

A tad short

For me too short at my age but it's a beautifully made waistcoat and I would happily buy if it were a few inches longer Not for me but I would recommend it

Great Quality

Yes, I recommend this

Excellent quality, runs small so I sized up. At 5ft2 the length was perfect, but may run short for someone taller. Looks great with wide leg jeans & smart black trousers. Can wear on it’s own or with a shirt underneath

Beautiful tailored piece.

Yes, I recommend this

I had to size up in this as I’m normally a size 12.The size 14 fitted beautifully, but because I’m 5 ft 8 , this for me came up a little short in the body area. But teamed up with high waisted jeans or over the sell out M & S black belted, waisted dress that tended in Grazia it looks stunning especially with the M & S black studded leather belt around it. Trouble is there have been so many beautiful on trend pieces that it’s really hard to know which ones to pick as we’ve been spoilt for choice. M & S have really upped their game. Offering on trend pieces across all ages.

Lovely stylish waistcoat

Yes, I recommend this

Nice quality and style of the waistcoat. I am normally 14 and ordered a 14 but felt it was too stretched. Returned and ordered a 16 which fitted better. It also hung lower so wasn’t showing my middle! Shame it is only dry clean as I ordered the cream colour.

BEAUTIFULLY CUT CREAM WAISTCOAT

Yes, I recommend this

I BOUGHT THE WAISTCOATWITH THE MATCHING TROUSERS AND JACKET AS I LIKE A COMPLETE OUTFIT. THE WAISTCOAT IS TRUE TO SIZE AND THE FABRIC IS COMFORTABLE TO WEAR , CAN BE WORN UNDER THE JACKET OR ON IT''S OWN WITH THE TROUSERS. I AM MORE THAN PLEASED WITH IT AND LOOK FORWARD TO WEARING IT SOON, A VERY SMART LOOK TO IT AND VERY AFFORDABLE.

Lovely waistcoat

Yes, I recommend this

This fits perfectly and manages to emphasise my waist without feeling like it is sucking it in. It washes well and the fabric is nice in that it is stiff enough to keep it's shape but soft enough to feel comfortable.

Loved it so much i bought in both colours. True to size, and not too tight so can wear with or without something underneath. Love the contrast buttons on the cream. Lovely quality, properly lined.

Classic waistcoat

This is a beautiful waistcoat, the cream looks more expensive than the black, I think it’s the button detail. I have a short body and it came to just about my waist, so long torso ladies this might be almost cropped on you. I really wanted to keep this but being short bodied the shoulders just didn’t sit right on me, but beautiful none the less.

Perfect fit and so flattering. I can tell that this is going to become a wardrobe staple for me this summer and into autumn. Might just need to wear a strappy top underneath to hide my tummy 🫣
