For a garment with delicate trim like the lace and tassels on the sleeves and neckline, hand washing is highly recommended to prevent snags and damage.
- Use Cold Water: Always wash in cold or cool water to prevent color bleeding and fabric shrinkage.
- Gentle Detergent: Use a mild, non-bleaching detergent or a gentle fabric wash.
- Soak Briefly: Submerge the outfit and let it soak for no more than 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse Well: Gently swish the garment in the water, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the fibers and embellishments.
