CUSTOMISE YOUR CYCLING SHORTS

If you know the magic of our high waisted leggings then you'll understand our need to make them up as cycling shorts. We've kept the deep doubled over, high-rise, waistband whilst reworking the seat of the shorts and legs around the thighs, to shape without digging in; giving the peachiest fit possible!

If you're new to Burnt Soul or just new to our leggings and shorts then read on! Due to the doubled over waistband, these babies will need a little wiggle to get on. Don't be scared... they're built for a lot of hugging and will soften with wear.

The sizes don't vary over different styles but the fabrics do and each has its own unique characteristics. Check out our stretchometer for all the info and whether you should size up or down. 

All of our custom shorts are cut and made in our Bristol studio by our small team of Lycra fairies. 

We offer customisation on our classic catsuit & bodysuit styles as well as on leggings, meggings, cycling shorts, Tops, hot pants and kidswear. Check out our customise page to start building your dream piece.

WASHING

Hand wash your Lycra outfit in cool or tepid water using mild detergent. 

Drip dry away from direct heat and sunlight and do not dry clean or tumble dry.

Tackle stains straight away by quickly soaking the stain in cold or tepid water and rub small amounts of mild detergent to the affected area - do not use hot water as this can set the stain. 

To remove strong smells fill the sink with cold water, add a cup of baking soda and soak for no more than 1 hour. Drip dry as above.

STORING

We recommend hanging your Burnt Soul’s up when they’re not out causing mischief, especially if they’re more delicate foiled pieces.

Do not fold and put in a draw when damp - this will cause damage to any foils and could transfer fabric dye to other garments.

WEARING

We love using glittery, shiny and holographic fabrics… as much as I’m sure you love wearing them! They do tend to need a little more attention than your average pair of leggings though. Whilst we always buy the highest quality of sparkles and foils we can find, if they are being worn and washed as an every day item of clothing then the foils may dull. If you’re looking for longevity or to use for fitness then it’s best to go for catsuits without liquid foil paneling. If you'd like more help choosing the right one for you then send us a message here.

keep oily liquids away from the reflective panels. The reflective panels are made by coating the lycra in minuscule glass beads. this makes it hard to get out oily substances once on the fabric. The good news is that it will have no effect on the reflective glow it gives out so you can continue shine bright where ever you go!

Generally speaking, we make our catsuits for the taller frame as our designer, Robyn, is 5'9" herself. See our sizing chart and how to measure yourself here.

Fortunately, the way the catsuits are cut does mean that the catsuits can be worn on a shorter body too - see the "Long, Short or Standard Torso" to find out what you are.

If you’re hesitant to invest in a custom piece just yet then there are 3 factors to consider when buying a stock catsuit…

• FABRIC
• BACK STYLE
• SIZE

FABRIC - We use different fabrics with varying amounts of stretch. We have given all our fabrics a stretchometer score to tell you which ones offer more stretch. 1 being the firmest and 5 being the stretchiest. If you're longer in the body but don't want a custom, they go for something with a high Stretchometer score.

BACK STYLE - If you’re particularly long in the body then the backless catsuit is your friend. As the back panel is missing, it offers a lot more stretch up and down.

SIZE - Between each size, the patterns also increase in length too. Not by a huge amount but if you are worried about the body and don’t want to go custom, then this is a factor that can offer you a bit more room.
