Are the diamante embellishments durable?
The diamante and stitching add a stylish touch. For best longevity, gentle washing inside out and air drying is recommended.

What type of closure do the breeches have?
They feature a zip fastening with a hook-and-eye faux button closure for a secure and easy fit.
How should I care for the stretch Lycra ankle cuffs?
The stretch Lycra ankles are designed to fit snugly. They can be cared for using the general machine washing instructions for the breeches: cold wash, gentle cycle, and low heat or air dry.
What sizes are available for the Ladies Birtle Diamante Breeches?

Troubleshooting
Breeches feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 5% spandex blend offers stretch, but proper sizing is key. Consider trying a different size if the fit is consistently uncomfortable.
Silicone grip is losing effectiveness.
Wash the breeches according to care instructions. Often, dirt and oils can reduce the tackiness of the silicone. Ensure they are fully dry before next use.
Diamante or stitching appears damaged after washing.
Review the care instructions and ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and avoiding harsh detergents. For minor damage, a fabric adhesive might offer a temporary fix, but re-washing with proper care is recommended.
Ankle cuffs feel uncomfortable or too tight.
The stretch Lycra is designed for a snug fit. If discomfort persists, ensure there is no bunching beneath boots. If the size is correct, the material may require some breaking in.
