Roman Petite Straight Leg Ponte Stretch Trouser - Brown - Size 14

Ponte, or Ponte de Roma, is a double-knit fabric. This means it has two layers of fabric knitted together, resulting in a thicker, more stable, and often more structured material than single knits. It is valued for its durability, wrinkle resistance, and comfortable stretch.

These trousers are best suited for smart-casual, office, or everyday wear. While they offer a polished look, they are generally not considered formal wear. For business settings, they can work well when paired with a tailored blouse or jacket.

The trousers are crafted from a blend of 76% Polyester, 21% Viscose, and 3% Elastane. This combination provides durability, softness, and essential stretch for comfort.

It is recommended to air dry these trousers by laying them flat or hanging them. High heat from tumble drying can affect the elastane's elasticity, potentially altering the fabric's shape, texture, and longevity over time.

The approximate inside leg length for these petite trousers is 69cm (about 27 inches), specifically designed to fit a petite frame.

Yes, while this guide focuses on the brown, size 14 variant, Roman Petite typically offers this style in a range of colours (such as black, blue, wine) and various women's dress sizes to suit different preferences and fits.

These trousers are designed to fit true to your standard UK women's dress size. For the most accurate fit, it is always recommended to consult Roman Petite's official sizing chart and compare your body measurements.

While designed for petites with an approximate 69cm inside leg, individual leg lengths and preferred footwear heights vary. If slightly too long, consider wearing them with a small heel. If too short, check if a different footwear choice (e.g., flats) improves the look. For a perfect custom fit, minor alterations may be an option.

Ponte fabric is generally wrinkle-resistant, but improper storage can lead to creases. Ensure the trousers are not overly compressed in drawers or during travel. After washing, hang them promptly to air dry, smoothing out any wrinkles. A light steam or low-heat iron (inside out) can help restore their crisp appearance.

The elasticated waist offers flexibility, but if it feels consistently uncomfortable, double-check your size against your usual UK dress size. Ensure you've ordered the correct size for your waist and hip measurements. Consistent discomfort might indicate a need to size up or down.

This can sometimes occur if the trousers are slightly too small for your hip measurement, causing the fabric to pull. Ensure the trousers fit comfortably around the hips and waist without pulling. Also, avoid carrying bulky items in the angled side pockets, as this can cause them to bulge.
