Petite Plain Ankle Grazer - Dorothy Perkins - Red - 16

The 'Petite' designation indicates that these trousers are specifically designed for women of shorter stature, typically under 5'4" (163cm). This means the inseam, rise, and overall proportions are adjusted to provide a more tailored and flattering fit for smaller frames.

The trousers have an approximate length of 60cm. This is generally measured as the inseam, designed to create an ankle grazer style, sitting just above your ankle. The precise appearance will vary slightly depending on your individual leg length.

To maintain the quality and shape of the wool material, it is generally recommended to either hand wash them in cool water with a wool-specific detergent and lay flat to dry, or to opt for professional dry cleaning. Always consult the garment's specific care label for the most accurate instructions. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

While wool material typically offers warmth, the ankle grazer length and slim fit make these trousers versatile. They are particularly well-suited for spring, autumn, and cooler summer days, and can be adapted for winter with appropriate layering and footwear.

This is often due to improper care for wool. Always refer to the garment's care label. If washing at home, ensure you're hand washing in cool water and laying flat to dry, as high heat or tumbling can cause shrinkage and distortion. Consider professional dry cleaning for best results.

Pilling can occur with natural fibers like wool, especially in areas of friction. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh abrasion can help. A fabric shaver or a pilling comb can effectively remove pills to restore the fabric's smooth appearance.

The approximate 60cm length is designed for an ankle grazer look on petite frames. Individual leg length can vary, so the exact 'graze' point may differ. Ensure you've selected the 'Petite' range for the intended fit. If the length is significantly off, double-check your order details.
