Shrinking after washing

Ensure you are washing in cold water and laying flat or hanging to dry. Avoid high heat in washing machines and dryers.

Broderie pattern appears to be stretching or losing definition

Handle the garment gently. Avoid excessive wringing or stretching during washing and drying. Consider professional dry cleaning for optimal care.

Color fading

Wash with similar colors and use a detergent designed for colored fabrics. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Wrinkles are difficult to remove

Try steaming the garment or ironing on a low heat setting, preferably inside out. Ensure the garment is slightly damp when ironing for better results.
