Troubleshooting
Satin fabric appears creased
Gently iron on the reverse side using a cool setting. Avoid excessive heat. Hanging the shorts after wearing can help prevent deep creases.
Loss of sheen
Ensure the shorts are not exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing or drying. Hand washing in cold water is recommended.
Fabric snagged
Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant damage, professional repair or dry cleaning may be necessary.
Shorts losing shape
Ensure proper drying by laying flat. The full lining helps maintain shape, but avoid prolonged compression.
