Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Dorothy Perkins pleated shorts in optimal condition, always follow the care label instructions. It is recommended to wash these garments inside out in cold water with similar colors to minimize indigo dye transfer and preserve the blue finish. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents. Air drying is highly recommended over tumble drying to prevent shrinking and to maintain the integrity of the pleated seams. For sizing compatibility, ensure you refer to the UK standard sizing chart, as these are tailored to a standard adult fit.
