Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too long
The generous 112cm length is designed to be worn with heels. For a perfect floor-skimming fit with your chosen footwear, consider professional tailoring or hemming. If wearing with flats, significant alteration may be required.
Fabric loses shape after extended wear
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The compact stretch fabric is designed to hold its shape, but excessive strain or an incorrect fit can impact this. Refer to the care instructions for proper washing to maintain fabric integrity.
Visible seam is not perfectly straight
The front seam is a design feature intended to be precise. If you notice a significant deviation, inspect the garment closely for any manufacturing defects. Minor variations should be minimal due to the tailoring.
