Care & Maintenance Instructions
To preserve the beauty and integrity of your gothic steampunk dress:
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid machine washing to protect delicate lace and satin finishes
- Color Care: Wash dark colors separately to prevent dye transfer. Never mix with lighter garments
- Drying: Line dry in the shade away from direct sunlight, which can fade the deep black coloring. Avoid tumble drying entirely
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dark place. Cover with a breathable garment bag to protect from dust
- Ironing: Use a low heat setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and fabric. Avoid pressing directly on lace detailing
