How does the sizing run?

Can I tumble dry this shirt?

Tumble drying is not recommended as the heat and agitation can damage the delicate cutwork and cause shrinkage.

The shirt is crafted from 100% cotton, ensuring breathability and durability.

Is this suitable for formal events?

Yes, its polished silhouette and artisanal detailing make it a sophisticated choice for business-casual and semi-formal events.

Troubleshooting

Avoid using high-agitation cycles. Use a mesh laundry bag to shield the garment from rubbing against other textures.

Garment losing crisp shape

Use starch during the ironing process to restore the structure of the collar and cuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because of the delicate openwork patterns, proper care is essential to maintain the structural integrity of the fabric.

  1. Washing: It is recommended to hand wash or use a gentle cycle in a mesh garment bag to prevent the laser-cut areas from snagging on other items.
  2. Drying: Air dry the garment flat or on a hanger to prevent distortion of the embroidery and cutwork.
  3. Ironing: Use a low-to-medium heat setting. It is best to iron the garment while slightly damp, or use a steamer to avoid crushing the intricate patterns on the chest and shoulders.
  4. Storage: Store on a quality hanger to ensure the shoulder structure remains intact.
