Troubleshooting
Shorts appear to lose shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature and cycle. Reshape the shorts while damp and dry them flat. Avoid excessive tumbling in the dryer if applicable.
Organdie pockets look creased or damaged.
Iron the shorts on a low heat setting, ironing the pockets from the reverse side. Avoid direct high heat on the organdie fabric.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent. Fabric softener can sometimes help with cotton stiffness, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
