Can I machine wash this costume?

It is recommended to hand wash the costume in cold water or use a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and air dry to preserve the material and details.

Troubleshooting

Costume components don't fit as expected.

Review the sizing chart for the Plus Size 20s Newsie costume. Ensure all adjustable parts, like the suspenders, are properly secured. For minor fit issues, consider using safety pins or temporary hemming techniques.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage or shipping.

Gently steam the fabric on a low setting or hang the garment in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct high heat from an iron, which could damage the polyester material.

Suspenders are difficult to adjust or stay in place.

Ensure the suspender clips are securely fastened to the shorts. If they repeatedly slip, consider reinforcing the attachment points on the shorts or using a garment-safe adhesive for added grip.

Satchel bag strap is uncomfortable or too long/short.

The satchel's strap length can often be adjusted. If it's not adequately adjustable, consider adding a strap extender or fashioning a new strap from similar fabric.
