Troubleshooting

Trousers appear too long

Due to the floor-sweeping design, alterations may be needed for a perfect fit. Consult a professional tailor for hemming.

Fabric feels delicate

The trousers are made of silk devore, which is inherently delicate. Handle with care, especially around sharp objects and rough surfaces.

Burnout pattern shows through too much

Consider wearing seamless, nude-toned undergarments or a thin slip underneath for added coverage and to maintain the intended aesthetic.

Creasing after storage

Hang the trousers on a padded hanger and allow them to naturally release minor creases. For stubborn wrinkles, use a cool iron on the reverse side, or professional steaming.
