Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintaining the satin's luxurious look and feel. Adhere strictly to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. Generally, for satin dresses:
- Cleaning: It is highly recommended to dry clean this garment to preserve the fabric's integrity and sheen. If hand washing is an option per the label, use cold water with a mild detergent and do not wring or twist.
- Drying: Lay flat to air dry on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a garment steamer on a very low heat setting, or iron on the reverse side with a protective cloth, ensuring the iron is on the lowest heat for delicates. Avoid direct high heat as it can scorch or damage satin.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place, ideally covered with a garment bag to protect it from dust and snags.
