Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the delicate lace and linen material.
- Check Label: Always refer to the garment care label for specific instructions.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Due to the delicate lace, hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is generally recommended.
- Gentle Cycle (If Machine Washing): If machine washing is an option on the label, use a mesh laundry bag, cold water, and a delicate cycle to protect the lace.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach as it can damage the fabric and color.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger to maintain shape. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out or with a pressing cloth, to prevent scorching the lace or linen. Address wrinkles promptly to keep the dress looking its best.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and snags.
