FAQs

Are these shorts see-through?

The shorts are made from high-quality cotton poplin, though as with many white garments, wearing nude-colored undergarments is recommended for complete opacity.

Does the waistband have much stretch?

Yes, the mid-rise elastic waistband is designed to be flexible and comfortable, further adjusted by the integrated drawstring.

Can I tumble dry these shorts?

Air drying is highly recommended to protect the intricate Swiss embroidery and prevent the fabric from shrinking.

What does Broderie Anglaise mean?

It is a needlework technique incorporating features of embroidery, cutwork, and needlelace, characterized by patterns of small holes or 'eyelets'.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The side seam pockets are functional and well-sized for small items like keys or lip balm, though they may not securely fit large modern smartphones.

How should I choose my size?

Refer to the provided UK dress size chart. The shorts offer a relaxed fit, so choose your standard size for the intended look.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles after washing

Use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron while damp to gently smooth out the cotton poplin.

Stubborn spots or stains

Treat the area immediately with a gentle fabric stain remover. Avoid harsh bleaches as they may damage the delicate embroidery fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure longevity and maintain the integrity of the Broderie Anglaise fabric, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water to prevent shrinkage and preserve the embroidery details.
  2. Drying: Air dry is recommended to maintain the shape of the scalloped hem and prevent the cotton from wrinkling excessively.
  3. Ironing: If needed, iron on a low heat setting, preferably while the fabric is slightly damp, to remove wrinkles without crushing the embroidery patterns.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the white cotton over time.
  5. Compatibility: These shorts are designed to fit true to size. Consult the size guide to match your standard UK dress size for the most accurate fit.
