Mineral Wash Cotton Short Set Women UK | Orchid
Mineral Wash Cotton Short Set Women UK
Mineral washing gives 100% cotton fabric a distinctive, slightly faded, almost vintage appearance that makes a simple short set feel considerably more interesting than a standard dyed equivalent. Available in orchid bouquet and rose red — both soft, feminine tones that suit the relaxed, casual aesthetic of the short set format. Browse more in our loungewear sets collection.

Fabric & Care
100% cotton. Machine wash at 30°C — the mineral wash effect will evolve and soften slightly with washing, which is a natural characteristic of washed cotton. Hang to air dry or tumble dry on low. Do not bleach.

FAQs
What is mineral washing?
Mineral washing is a fabric treatment process that creates a slightly faded, tonal variation in the fabric — similar to a soft, sun-bleached appearance. It gives cotton garments a relaxed, vintage-inspired look that differs from both plain-dyed and tie-dye effects.
Will the mineral wash look change after washing?
The wash effect may soften slightly after multiple washes — this is a natural characteristic of mineral-washed cotton and contributes to the lived-in, evolving quality of the fabric. The colour will remain; only the intensity may soften gradually.
Is this set sold as a complete top and shorts?
Yes — both pieces (top and shorts) are included in one purchase. They are sold as a matched mineral-wash co-ord set.
Is this set suitable for wearing outside as well as at home?
Yes — the mineral wash finish and co-ord format give this set a slightly more considered appearance than standard plain loungewear. With trainers and a crossbody bag it works well for casual outings, errands and relaxed social occasions.
Is this set true to UK sizing?
This set runs close to standard UK sizing. Cotton has minimal stretch so check both your bust and hip measurements against the size guide below. If between sizes, size up for the most comfortable fit.
