FAQs
What does 'Petite' mean for these trousers?
The 'Petite' designation indicates these trousers are designed for shorter statures, featuring an approximate inside leg length of 69cm (27 inches).
What is 'Ponte' fabric?
Ponte (or Ponte di Roma) is a double-knit fabric that is stable, durable, and resists creasing. It offers a comfortable stretch and a smooth, structured feel, making it ideal for trousers.
Are these trousers suitable for all seasons?
While versatile, these trousers are primarily designed for Autumn/Winter due to the warmth and thickness of the ponte fabric. They may be too warm for hotter climates or summer wear.
Do these trousers have pockets?
Yes, they feature functional angled side pockets for convenience.
How should I wash these trousers?
They are machine washable. For best results, wash with similar colours on a gentle cycle in cold water and air dry by laying flat or hanging.
What is the material composition of the trousers?
The trousers are made from 76% Polyester, 21% Viscose, and 3% Elastane, providing a blend of durability, softness, and stretch.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trousers are designed to be 'True to size' in a Regular fit for women. We recommend selecting your usual UK dress size, keeping in mind the petite specific inside leg length of approximately 69cm.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too long or too short.
These are designed for a petite fit with an approximate 69cm inside leg. If the fit isn't right, verify your height against the 'petite' sizing guidelines or consider if an alteration is needed for a perfect personal fit.
Fabric appears creased after washing.
After machine washing, gently reshape the trousers and hang or lay flat to dry. If creases persist, a light iron on a low setting, on the reverse side of the fabric, should smooth them out.
Fabric feels uncomfortable or less stretchy than expected.
Ensure you are following the machine washable care instructions. Fabric softener can sometimes help with comfort. The ponte fabric offers a structured stretch, not a loose, highly elastic feel like some pure jersey fabrics.
Pockets gape or bulge.
The angled side pockets are functional but carrying too many items can cause bulging. Try to keep items minimal. The structured ponte fabric should help the pockets lie flat when empty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Achieving the Best Fit (Setup)
These trousers are designed for a 'Petite' fit, featuring an approximate inside leg length of 69cm. When trying them on, ensure the waistband sits comfortably at your natural waist and the hem falls elegantly around your ankle or just above your shoe, depending on your height and preferred style. The stretch in the fabric will adapt to your shape for a comfortable, true-to-size fit.
Compatibility & Styling
- Tops: The wide-leg style pairs well with both fitted and looser tops. Consider knitwear, blouses, or even fitted t-shirts.
- Footwear: Ankle boots are a classic choice for autumn. Heels can further elongate the leg, while flats or trainers offer a more casual vibe. The wide leg accommodates various shoe styles effectively.
- Outerwear: Layer with longline cardigans, tailored blazers, or short jackets to complement the silhouette.
Product Care
To ensure your Roman Petite Wide Leg Ponte Stretch Trousers maintain their quality and appearance, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable. For best results and to preserve the fabric, wash similar colours together on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry by laying flat or hanging to prevent stretching or damage to the fabric. Avoid tumble drying as high heat can affect the elastane.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side. Avoid direct high heat.
- Material Composition: 76% Polyester, 21% Viscose, 3% Elastane.
