FAQs

Are these shorts true to size?

The Marant Etoile Layale shorts are designed with an elasticated waistband, which offers some flexibility in fit. It is generally recommended to select your standard dress size.

Can I machine wash these shorts?

While a delicate cycle in a garment bag is possible, hand washing is the safest way to maintain the detail of the broderie anglaise and ruffled layers.

Is the fabric see-through?

The shorts are made from cotton voile. While the quality is high, it is standard practice to wear skin-toned undergarments with white cotton pieces.

Where are these shorts manufactured?

The Marant Etoile Layale shorts are made in India, a region renowned for its expertise in textile embroidery and fine cotton work.

Can these be ironed?

You can use a cool iron or a steamer to remove wrinkles. Be careful to avoid direct heat on the delicate embroidery and scalloped edges.

Troubleshooting

Visible snagging on the embroidery

Avoid contact with jewelry or rough surfaces when putting on the garment; if a thread pulls, carefully trim it with sharp sewing scissors rather than pulling.

Elastic waistband feels too tight

Ensure the waistband is not twisted inside the fabric casing; gently manipulate the fabric to straighten the internal elastic band.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Marant Etoile Layale shorts, it is essential to follow specific care instructions given the delicate nature of the broderie anglaise. Hand washing or using a delicate machine cycle with a mesh garment bag is highly recommended to prevent the ruffles from snagging. Avoid high-heat drying, as this may compromise the shape of the elastic waistband and the structural integrity of the embroidery. Hang drying in the shade is the best method to preserve the bright white color and texture.
