What is the best way to care for this shirt?

Dry cleaning is recommended. If washing at home, use a cold, gentle cycle and air dry.

Does the shirt come in other colors?

This guide focuses on the white variant. Please check product listings for availability in other colors.

What is the length of the maxi shirt?

The shirt is a maxi length, designed to be long, offering versatile styling options.

Are the studs on the collar and cuffs securely attached?

The studs are part of the design embellishment. Handle with care to maintain their attachment. Professional cleaning and careful handling are advised.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Ensure the shirt is ironed on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use steam. Dry cleaning is the preferred method to avoid wrinkles.

Studs feel loose or damaged.

Handle the studded areas with care. If a stud becomes loose, consult a professional tailor for repair or reattachment.

Fabric has lost its sheen.

This can occur with improper washing or drying. Stick to dry cleaning or a very gentle cold wash cycle. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat.

Sleeves do not hold their shape.

Ensure the shirt is dried flat or hung correctly. The cotton sateen fabric provides structure, but improper drying can affect this. Consider professional pressing if the shape is significantly compromised.
