To ensure that it remains as beautiful as the day you first wore it:
- Dry Clean Only: To preserve the beauty and integrity of your garment and handwork, please have it dry cleaned. This will ensure the fabric and delicate details remain in perfect condition for years.
- No Tumble Drying: The gentle nature of silk and handwork doesn't fare well with the rough tumble of a dryer. Instead, after cleaning, lay the garment flat on a clean towel to air dry in the shade. This will help preserve its softness and keep the embroidery intact.
- Avoid perfumes on Handwork: Avoid spraying perfume or deodorants directly onto the Handwork, as these may cause discoloration or damage to the embroidery.
- Iron with Care: Should you need to iron, turn the garment inside out and use a low-heat setting. For the Handwork area, place a cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the delicate hand embroidery from direct heat.
- Storing Your Garment: When you’re not wearing it, fold it gently with tissue paper over handwork and place it on a flat surface.
- Guard Against Humidity and Light: Store your garment in a place free of humidity and direct sunlight, so it can continue to bring joy for years to come.
- A Final Thought: This garment is more than just fabric—it's a piece of artistry. Treat it with the love and care it deserves, and it will reward you by maintaining its elegance through many occasions to come.
