Care & Maintenance Guide
Preservation Tips for Longevity:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Use lukewarm water with gentle detergent, focusing on avoiding excessive agitation near lace areas
- Zipper Care: Check zipper integrity before washing. Zip/unzip gently to avoid snagging delicate lace
- Drying Method: Air dry flat or hung on padded hangers. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade printed patterns
- Bow Maintenance: For the detachable collar bow, hand wash separately and store in a clean, dry location away from moisture
- Lace Protection: When storing, use acid-free tissue to prevent creasing and discoloration of lace sleeve details
- Pearl & Sequin Care: Gently brush away any debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that might dull the finish
