General Care Guidelines

Before First Wear:

  • Try on your pieces carefully to check fit
  • Remove all tags gently to avoid snagging delicate fabrics
  • For reversible items, test both sides before your event

After Each Wear:

  • Rinse or wash as soon as possible to prevent sweat and body oils from setting
  • Turn garments inside out before washing to protect embellishments
  • Always check care labels for specific instructions

Fabric-Specific Care

Sequins & Rhinestones

  • Hand wash only in cold water with mild detergent
  • Never wring or twist - gently squeeze out excess water
  • Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight
  • Do not iron directly on sequins or rhinestones
  • Store flat or hanging to prevent crushing embellishments

Mesh & Sheer Fabrics

  • Hand wash or use delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag
  • Cold water only to prevent stretching
  • Air dry flat or hang to dry
  • Avoid rough surfaces that can snag the fabric
  • Iron on lowest setting if needed, using a pressing cloth

Lycra & Spandex (Solid & Printed)

  • Machine wash cold on gentle cycle or hand wash
  • Use mild detergent - avoid fabric softeners (they break down elasticity)

Storage Tips

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
