Monceau Waistcoat

I love how this looks, great both on its own for evening or layered over a turtleneck for work. However, as other reviewers said it doesn’t have any fastenings and will not stay closed on its own. Since I liked the look so much I’ve sewn on push buttons and keep a hair tie over the belt to keep it tight.

This feels like a look for the bold and the brave (or the stupid!!). Probably not for everyone but on me it looks gorgeous! 35, 5 6", petite frame. Really good for recently-bronzed shoulders.

Lovely fabric and cut, but beware, there are no fastenings on the waistcoat. You will need to rely on the belt to keep it in place. A bit too high risk for me!

There's a quiet confidence to this piece, doesn't scream, just suggests you've (I've!) got great taste.

Would recommend

Wasn't sure if this style was for me, but I'm a convert now. Love the minimal detailing.

Honestly blown away by how luxe this feels. Linen blend is super soft, not itchy like cheaper versions I've tried (rhymes with mother rories).

Finally, a waistcoat that doesn't gape at the bust. I have been looking for something shaped like this for ages - I have big boobs so waistcoats never seem to work but this has a realy nice shape that keeps everything in place.

I have broad shoulders and was worried this would make me look boxy or like a snooker player but the shape is really feminine. Not too baggy and not too showy - is officially a part of my new date outfit.

Great shape, doesn't crease too much

My very first waistcoat. I wasn't at all sure about this and had assumed it would be a short lived experiment but..... it actualy looks lovely with shorts so I am keeping it.
