Reviews Summary
Customers describe this waistcoat as “very well made” with beautiful, quality fabric and a flattering, fitted shape. The press-stud closures come up repeatedly for keeping the front smooth and secure—several people specifically mention it “does not gap.” Fit feedback is more nuanced: some size down for a firm fit thanks to the stretch, while others size up for comfort, especially around the bust and armhole area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers based on customer reviews
Fit & Sizing
Does this waistcoat/vest run true to size, or should I size up or down?
Fit feedback is mixed across reviewers, which suggests sizing may depend on how fitted you want it. One reviewer who is usually a size 10–12 said sizing down to XS gave a good, firm fit, while another reviewer sized up because it’s quite fitted. If you’re between sizes, consider whether you prefer a snug tailored look (possibly size down) or a bit more ease (possibly size up).
Based on 3 customer reviewsShould I worry about gaping around the armholes or bust area?
At least one reviewer reported slight gaping around the upper armhole/bust area and wondered if it was due to having a larger bust. In contrast, others praised the overall fit, so this may be body-shape dependent rather than a universal issue. If you’re fuller-busted, you may want to pay extra attention to the armhole/bust fit when choosing your size.
Based on 3 customer reviewsMaterial & Quality
Is the fabric stretchy, or is it more structured?
Multiple customers mention the vest has stretch while still feeling well-made and tailored. One reviewer specifically noted the material stretches, and another said it’s quite fitted but has some stretch. This makes it easier to get a firm, flattering fit without feeling overly rigid.
Based on 3 customer reviewsIs the material actually good quality, or does it feel cheap?
Reviewers consistently describe the fabric as high quality and pleasant to the touch. Customers mention the fabric feels “amazing,” “beautiful,” and “quality,” and also say the vest is very well made. Overall sentiment points to a premium look and feel rather than something flimsy.
Based on 3 customer reviewsPerformance
Do the press studs/buttons prevent gaping across the front?
Yes—reviewers repeatedly call out the press studs/closures as a standout feature for keeping the front lying flat. Customers said they love the press studs because it doesn’t gap, and another noted “no gaping across the buttons.” If front-button gaping is a common issue for you, the closure design seems to help.
Based on 3 customer reviewsStyle & Versatility
Is this vest flattering, or does it look boxy?
Feedback suggests it’s a flattering, more fitted style rather than boxy. One reviewer called it “very flattering,” and others said the fit was excellent/perfect. If you like a tailored silhouette, reviewers generally found it creates a polished shape.
Based on 3 customer reviewsCan you dress it up or down, or is it only for smart outfits?
Reviewers say it’s versatile and can be styled both casually and more formally. One customer noted it can be “dress[ed] up or down still looking chic,” and another called it a versatile wardrobe item. This points to it working for multiple occasions rather than being strictly workwear or strictly casual.

The waistcoat is fabulous! Love it.
However the company itself is lacking integrity. I purchased the waistcoat in a M and was too big. Had to pay for return postage and then the price went up from $115 to $160 to exchange the SAME ITEM for a smaller size. What a ripoff.
- DDonnaReviewingFitted Waistcoat - WhiteRated 3 out of 5 stars2 months ago3 Stars
The sizing of the vest was a bit tight but i think medium would be too big. I nearly sent it back but kept it hoping to loose that tiny bit of fat. Hopefully thatbis not a sit in the cupboard and never get worn decision. The quality of the garments are excellent though. Perhaps they could consider numbered sizing rather the S M L to provide more sizing options.

Very happy with this purchase after sizing down. I am usually a size 10-12. Purchases the M but went for the XS which is a good firm fit Material also stretches. Very well made.
- KCKelly C.Verified BuyerReviewingFitted Waistcoat - NavyI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars2 months agoFlattering waistcoat
Very flattering waistcoat. I sized up as it was quite fitted, but has some stretch. Only downside I found was it gaped a little around the upper arm hole/bust area; not sure if this is a fit issue or if it’s due to having a larger bust. Fabric is quality. Great closures; no gaping across the buttons. Overall, a versatile wardrobe item.
