Description
NOTE: Some seams, darts, back yokes, or other fitting-related details which are shown in the photos will change between sizes or body shapes, and may look different or be completely absent in your version (depending on your particular size or shape). Design details that don’t affect fit, such as collars or pockets, will stay the same between sizes.

For Tulip waistcoats, you can choose from the following galleries:
- Suitings (any)
- Faux Suedes
- Jacquards
- Brocades
- Silk Brocades
- Corduroys
- Lace Overlays.
Some materials may benefit from being made with coordinating side panels in a suiting with some give, both for comfort and appearance, depending on your preference (you can see what this looks like in the black and gold brocade waistcoat in the product photos). If you choose one of these, we’ll mention it when you email us.
Sizing
The waistcoat has side panels with built-in stretch, so the fit is quite forgiving. If you fall between sizes, you should probably go with the smaller size. Remember, the waist can be made smaller by pulling in the back ties. Our sizing is NOT like ready-to-wear, so don’t assume you know what size you are!
The measurements given are actual garment measurements, not your body measurements. No hip measurement is given, because the peplum means the hip area is totally unfitted. You’ll need anywhere between 1 and 4 inches of wearing ease (extra space above your actual body measurements) depending on how snug a fit you like in your clothes and what you’ll be wearing underneath.
