FAQs

What size range is available for these shorts?

These shorts are available in UK sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18.

Are these shorts made of stretch denim?

These are primarily constructed from standard denim material; please check the internal garment tag for specific cotton-to-elastane ratios if applicable.

Can these be tumble dried?

It is recommended to air dry to prevent shrinkage, but they can be tumble dried on a very low heat setting if necessary.

Is the blue colour consistent across all sizes?

Yes, all available sizes share the same classic blue denim colour family.

Do the pleats require ironing?

The pleats are designed to hold their shape, but a light iron may be required after washing to maintain a crisp look.

Troubleshooting

Pleats appear flattened or messy after washing

Lightly steam or iron the pleated area while the fabric is slightly damp to restore the original shape.

Fabric feels too stiff after drying

Briefly tumble dry on a low-heat setting for 5-10 minutes with a dryer ball to soften the denim fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Dorothy Perkins Pleated Shorts maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Turn the shorts inside out before placing them in the machine to preserve the blue dye.
  2. Temperature: Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and potential shrinkage.
  4. Storage: Hang the shorts by the waistband or fold them neatly to keep the pleats crisp and prevent unnecessary wrinkling.
  5. Compatibility: These shorts pair best with casual flat sandals, white sneakers, or low-profile wedges for a summer-ready ensemble.
