Fabric care
Care for your OLESSA pieces
Treat your activewear with the same care you give your skin. To maintain the life of the fibres and the integrity of the recycled stretch, we recommend:
- Cold gentle machine wash with like colours.
- Line dry in the shade (avoid the tumble dryer to protect the elastane).
- Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent and avoid bleach or softeners.
- Do not iron (the natural weight of bamboo usually pulls out any creases!).

FIT TIPS

Please remember that every body is unique and that all sizes shown in the size chart are approximate due to the adaptability of our fabrics.
HOW TO MEASURE
BUST: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
WAIST: Measure around the waist at the narrowest part.
HIP: Measure around the seat at the widest part (approx. 20 cm below the narrowest part of your waist).
