FAQs
What type of sleeves are these shoulder pads best for?
These shoulder pads are specifically designed for raglan sleeves, where the sleeve seam extends from the underarm to the neckline.
Can I use these on garments with set-in sleeves?
While they might attach, they are not designed for set-in sleeves and may not provide the intended shaping or fit. Their design complements the angled seam of raglan sleeves.
How do I attach the shoulder pads?
They attach using a hook and loop fastener. You position them on the garment's shoulder seam and secure the fastener.
Are these shoulder pads machine washable?
Yes, the shoulder pads are washable up to 30 degrees Celsius. It's recommended to use a gentle cycle and air dry.
Will these pads make my shoulders look too wide?
They provide a rounded silhouette to emphasize the shoulder line, but are designed to be subtle. The 'S' size suggests they are intended for a moderate enhancement.
Can I iron these shoulder pads?
It is not recommended to iron the shoulder pads directly, as high heat could damage the material or the hook and loop fastener. If ironing the garment they are attached to, use a low heat setting and avoid ironing over the pads themselves.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder pad feels insecure
Ensure the hook and loop fastener is firmly attached and aligned correctly on the garment's seam. Check if the garment fabric is too thick or slippery for the fastener to grip effectively.
Pad creates unwanted bulk
Adjust the placement of the pad slightly forward or backward on the seam. Ensure you are using the correct size pad for your garment. These pads are designed for subtle shaping.
Difficulty attaching pad to garment
Make sure the hook and loop fastener is clean and free of lint or debris. Ensure the garment seam is flat and not bunched up where the pad is being attached.
