Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too short
These are designed for petite frames with an approximate inside leg length of 68.5cm. If you require a longer fit, these specific trousers may not be suitable. Please verify your height against petite sizing guides.
Waist feels too tight or too loose
The trousers feature an elasticated waist and are described as 'true to size'. Ensure you have selected your correct UK dress size. If between sizes, consider your preference for a looser or snugger fit.
Fabric appears creased after washing
While ponte fabric is generally wrinkle-resistant, ensure you remove them promptly from the washing machine and air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Light ironing on a low temperature may be used if needed.
Pockets don't lie flat or gape
This can sometimes occur if the trousers are slightly too snug, or it can be a natural characteristic of angled pockets on certain body shapes. Try a size up if the issue is significant and impacting comfort.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Roman Petite Straight Leg Ponte Stretch Trousers, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine washable. Always check the garment label for specific temperature recommendations, typically a cool or warm wash cycle.
- Drying: Avoid high heat drying which can damage the fabric's stretch properties. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is recommended.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting inside out to protect the fabric finish. The stretch ponte material is often wrinkle-resistant, minimizing the need for ironing.
- Storage: Store folded or hung to maintain their shape.
