Got questions about the Tapestry Floral Burnout Tap Shorts? We cover how to wash them, get the right fit, and keep the gold foil looking its best.
Quick answer
Hand wash your Tapestry Floral Burnout Tap Shorts in cold water with a gentle detergent, then lay them flat to dry. For fit, choose your usual size; the high waist sits at your natural waistline, and the burnout fabric has a soft, slightly sheer feel.
Why burnout fabric needs a gentler routine
Burnout fabric gets its pattern from a chemical process that burns away part of the fibers, leaving a sheer, textured design. That makes it more delicate than a standard knit, so rough washing can distort the pattern or weaken the sheer areas. The gold foil accents on this style are also surface-applied, so they need protection from friction and heat.
Fit notes for high-waisted tap shorts
Tap shorts are designed for lounging and sleep, so they should feel relaxed through the leg without gaping at the waist. The high waistband on this pair is meant to sit at your natural waist, not your hips. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred sleep fit: size up for a looser feel, or stay true to size for a closer fit. The fabric has some give but is not highly stretchy, so the waist measurement matters most.
Your burnout tap shorts questions, answered
- How should I wash my burnout tap shorts?
- Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently squeeze the water through the fabric without wringing or twisting. If you must use a machine, place them in a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle with cold water and low spin.
- Can I put them in the dryer?
- No. Heat can shrink the fabric and damage the gold foil. Lay them flat on a clean towel to dry, reshaping the waistband and trim while damp. Hang them only if you use a padded clip to avoid crease marks. Skip fabric softener too; it can coat the fibers and dull the foil.
- How do I keep the gold foil from flaking?
- Turn the shorts inside out before washing and avoid rubbing the foil directly. Store them folded rather than hung to prevent the trim from stretching. If ironing is needed, use the lowest setting and press on the reverse side only, never directly on the foil.
- What size should I order?
- Order your usual size for a relaxed lounge fit. The high waist is designed to sit at your natural waist, so measure there and compare to the size chart. If you prefer a very loose sleep short, size up; the burnout fabric has limited stretch. Check the size chart for waist measurements before ordering.
- Can I wear them outside the house?
- Yes, they are styled as tap shorts, which can work for lounging or a casual outing when paired with a matching bralette or a loose tee. The burnout fabric is slightly sheer in the patterned areas, so keep that in mind for bright daylight.
- How should I store them?
- Fold them flat in a drawer away from rough zippers or hooks that could snag the lace trim. Avoid hanging by the waistband for long periods, as that can stretch the elastic.
