Troubleshooting

Shorts appear creased after washing or travel.

Iron on a low heat setting, using a pressing cloth over the organdie pockets to protect the delicate fabric. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Organdie pockets seem delicate.

Handle the pocket areas with care to avoid snagging or tearing. Avoid harsh scrubbing during cleaning.
