Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your blouse lasts, follow these guidelines for maintenance:
- Washing: Always check the garment label for specific temperature recommendations. Hand washing or using a delicate cycle with a mesh laundry bag is recommended to protect the shirring.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the elasticity of the shirred bodice and cuffs. Lay the item flat on a drying rack to maintain its shape.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, but be careful to avoid ironing directly over the shirred sections to prevent flattening the texture.
- Storage: Fold the blouse gently rather than hanging it for extended periods, as the weight of the sleeves could potentially stretch out the shoulder seams over time.
