FAQs
What type of garments are these shoulder pads best for?
They are ideal for blouses, light knitwear, t-shirts, and other lightweight garments, especially those with raglan sleeves.
How do I attach them to my clothing?
These shoulder pads are designed to be sewn into the garment's shoulder seam and lining. They also feature a strap for additional security.
Can I wash these shoulder pads?
Yes, they are washable at up to 30 degrees Celsius. It's best to air dry them afterward.
Will these shoulder pads add a lot of volume?
No, these pads are designed for subtle shaping and lift, adding minimal bulk, making them suitable for lighter clothing.
What does 'non-yellowing fibre' mean?
It means the inner fiber material is treated to resist discoloration from age or exposure to light, maintaining its original color.
Are these suitable for formal wear?
While they can enhance the drape of some lighter formal blouses, they are generally not recommended for heavily structured formal wear or suit jackets which require more substantial padding.
What are the dimensions of each pad?
Each pad measures approximately 115 mm (length) x 125 mm (width) x 10 mm (thickness).
Troubleshooting
Shoulder pads slip or move during wear
Ensure the strap is securely fastened to either a bra strap or the garment's interior lining. Double-check that the pads are correctly sewn into the garment's shoulder seam.
Pads feel uncomfortable or stiff
Verify that the garment fabric is suitable for these lightweight pads. Ensure the pads are positioned correctly along the shoulder line and not bunched up.
Pads are visible through thin fabric
Consider using a lining in the garment or opting for lighter colored shoulder pads if available and suitable for the garment.
Pads lose shape after washing
Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (up to 30 degrees Celsius) and air dry them flat. Avoid tumble drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoulder pads are designed to be sewn into garments. They typically attach to the shoulder seam and lining of the garment. The integrated strap can be secured to the bra strap or directly to the garment's interior for added stability.
Compatibility: Best suited for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics such as cotton, linen, rayon, and light wool blends. They are particularly effective in garments with raglan sleeves but can also be adapted for set-in sleeves where a softer shoulder shape is desired. Avoid using them in very heavy fabrics like thick wool or structured suit jackets, as they may not provide adequate support or could create an uneven appearance.
Care: The shoulder pads are washable up to 30 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to wash them with similar colors. Air drying is preferable to maintain their shape and integrity. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents.
