FAQs
Is this costume machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the item in cool water to preserve the vibrancy of the print and the quality of the fabric.
What kind of shoes should I wear with this?
To maintain the authentic 1970s disco look, platform shoes or pointed-toe boots are the best stylistic choices.
Does the waist adjust significantly?
Yes, the trousers feature an elasticated waistband, providing a comfortable and flexible fit for a wide range of adult sizes.
Can I iron this costume?
You can use a cool iron, but it is best to iron on the reverse side or place a protective cloth between the iron and the printed fabric.
Are there other patterns available?
Yes, Smiffys offers other variants, such as a checkered pattern version, for those looking for a different 70s aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Touch fasteners not sticking properly
Check the fasteners for lint or fabric debris and remove any obstructions to ensure the hooks and loops connect securely.
Garment feels static
Lightly mist the inside of the fabric with a small amount of water or use an anti-static spray to neutralize the charge.
Visible wrinkles upon opening
Hang the outfit in a bathroom while running a hot shower; the steam will help relax the fabric wrinkles without needing direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Smiffys 1970s Retro Costume remains in top condition, follow these care and setup guidelines.
- Preparation: Upon removing the costume from the packaging, you may notice some creasing from transit. Use a cool iron or a garment steamer on a low setting to gently smooth out the fabric, being careful not to touch the iron directly to the printed patterns.
- Compatibility: This set is a base layer. It pairs well with accessories such as oversized sunglasses, gold-tone medallions, or a wig to complete the 1970s look.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only in cool water to prevent the psychedelic print from fading or peeling. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the fabric and the touch-fastener strips. Hang the garment to air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
