Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash recommended using a mild detergent in cold water to preserve the delicate mesh and ombré dye. Alternatively, a machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water in a garment bag may be used.
  • Drying: Lay flat or hang to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the fabric and affect the dye.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. It is best to iron the garment inside out or use a pressing cloth to protect the mesh surface.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, folded or hung, to prevent creasing. Avoid overcrowding the closet to maintain the fabric's shape.
