Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and structure of the slub organdie fabric, it is recommended to follow specific care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Hand wash only in cold water. Avoid machine washing as it can damage the delicate fabric and the structural integrity of the sleeves and wrap detail.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
  3. Drying: Do not wring or twist the fabric. Lay the blouse flat on a clean towel to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat. Reshape the garment while damp.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric. Focus on smoothing out wrinkles without applying excessive pressure. Avoid ironing the balloon sleeves directly with high heat.
  5. Storage: Hang the blouse on a padded hanger to preserve the shape of the shoulders and sleeves.
