Care Instructions
To maintain the delicate broderie anglaise and the quality of the cotton fabric:
- Washing: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mesh laundry bag to protect the delicate embroidery from snagging.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric and embroidery. Avoid tumble drying.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side or with a pressing cloth, to protect the embroidered details. Do not iron directly on the broderie if possible. Steaming is also an excellent alternative for removing wrinkles gently.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent stretching or creasing.
