Care & Maintenance Guidelines 🧼
Washing Instructions: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent to preserve the lustrous satin finish and maintain the integrity of the ruching. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water in a mesh laundry bag.
Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger to prevent stretching. Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color vibrancy—particularly important for the rich burgundy and purple shades.
Ironing: Use low heat if needed, pressing on the reverse side to protect the delicate satin surface. Steam is an excellent alternative to maintain the fabric’s luminous quality.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. The adjustable drawstring and elastic waist mean minimal creasing if hung properly.
