Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and appearance of your Charleston Flapper costume:
- Hand Wash Cold: It is recommended to hand wash the costume in cold water. Use a mild detergent.
- Do Not Bleach: Avoid using any bleaching agents, as they can damage the fabric and colors.
- Reshape and Dry Flat: After washing, gently reshape the garment and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting.
- Faux Fur Care: Gently brush the faux fur accents with a soft-bristled brush to maintain their texture. Do not machine wash or dry the faux fur.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Pay special attention to the pleats to ensure they remain crisp.
