FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for taller women?
These are specifically cut for the petite frame. Taller individuals may find the hemline too short.
What material are the trousers made from?
They are crafted from a high-quality polyester blend that provides a compact stretch.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry or follow the garment label closely; high heat from dryers can impact the fabric's shape and stretch.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, they are functional, but they are designed to sit flush to maintain a slim, streamlined appearance.
How should I store them to avoid wrinkles?
Hanging them by the hem or the waist on a clip hanger is the best method to keep the fabric smooth.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears shiny after ironing
Always use a pressing cloth between the iron and the trouser fabric, and ensure the iron is on a low heat setting.
Pockets are bulging slightly
Ensure the trousers are not too tight in the hip area; if they are, the side pockets may not sit perfectly flush.
