FAQs
What is the material composition of these trousers?

Do these trousers have pockets?
Yes, they feature functional angled side pockets for your convenience.
How should I wash these trousers?

What is the approximate inside leg length?
The approximate inside leg length for these Petite Wide Leg Ponte Stretch Trousers is 69cm (27 inches).
Are these trousers true to size?
Yes, they are designed to be 'true to size' within Roman Petite's sizing. It's generally recommended to select your usual UK dress size.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too long or too short for my height.
The approximate inside leg length is 69cm (27 inches). Please check this measurement against your ideal inseam. While designed for petites, individual preferences vary. If the length isn't quite right, professional tailoring can provide a custom fit.
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.
While ponte fabric is known for wrinkle resistance, some creasing can occur. Air dry flat to minimize wrinkles. If creases persist, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out, or use a fabric steamer.
The fit doesn't seem 'true to size' as described.
These trousers are designed to be 'true to size' for Roman Petite sizing. Ensure you've selected your usual UK dress size. If the fit is still not right, consult Roman's specific size guide if available, or consider trying a different size. Note that fit can vary slightly between garments.
Ponte fabric feels less stretchy or has lost shape over time.
Ensure you are consistently following the machine washable care instructions. Using excessively hot water, harsh detergents, or high heat in the dryer can damage the elastane fibers, leading to reduced stretch and shape retention. Stick to gentle cycles and low-heat drying.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality, shape, and longevity of your Roman Petite Wide Leg Ponte Stretch Trousers. Follow these guidelines to keep them looking their best.
Washing Instructions
- Machine Washable: These trousers are designed for easy maintenance. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.
- Water Temperature: Wash in cold or lukewarm water to help preserve the fabric's color and elasticity. Avoid hot water, which can cause shrinking or damage to the synthetic fibers.
- Detergent: Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or optical brighteners, as these can degrade the fabric and fade the color.
- Cycle: Select a gentle or delicate cycle to protect the fabric's integrity and prevent excessive wear.
- Inside Out: Turning the trousers inside out before washing can help protect the outer surface from abrasion and maintain color vibrancy.
Drying & Ironing
- Drying: For best results and to prevent shrinking, air dry by laying flat on a clean surface or hanging to dry. If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat or 'delicate' setting and remove promptly.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature setting. Iron on the reverse side of the fabric or use a pressing cloth to prevent direct heat contact, which can cause shininess or damage to the polyester blend.
Fabric Composition
These trousers are made from a blend of 76% Polyester, 21% Viscose, and 3% Elastane. This composition contributes to their stretch, comfort, and ease of care. Following these care steps will help maintain the fabric's characteristics.
