Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too short or too long.
These are 'Petite' fit trousers with an approximate inside leg length of 68.5cm. If the length is not ideal, double-check if 'Petite' sizing aligns with your height and leg measurements. Consider Roman's regular fit options if you are not petite.
Trousers feel too tight or loose at the waist.
The trousers are designed to be 'True to size' with an elasticated waist for comfort. If the fit isn't right, ensure you have selected the correct UK dress size. If between sizes, consider trying the next size up or down for optimal comfort.
Fabric appears creased after washing.
After machine washing, promptly remove trousers from the machine. Hang them to dry immediately or tumble dry on a low setting for a short duration. If creases persist, a light iron on a low setting or steaming can help restore a smooth finish.
Fabric feels less soft or looks worn after some use.
The blend contains viscose and polyester, which can sometimes show signs of wear (like minor pilling) over time. Ensure you follow washing instructions carefully, use a gentle cycle, and consider a fabric shaver for any minor pilling to refresh the look.
