Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the linen blend, it is recommended to hand wash or use a delicate cycle on your washing machine with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Air dry the dress. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can damage the linen fibers and cause shrinkage. Lay flat or hang on a padded hanger.
  • Ironing: Iron while the dress is still slightly damp on a low to medium heat setting. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and the hardware. Focus on steaming out wrinkles to maintain its crisp appearance.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and skirt.
