FABRIC-SPECIFIC CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Based on our product line, I’ve developed care instructions for common fabric types:

SILK AND SATIN

• Spot clean only with specialized fabric cleaners
• Professional dry cleaning recommended
• Avoid water spots by keeping away from direct water contact
• Store in breathable garment bags

TULLE AND LACE

• Handle with clean, dry hands
• Avoid snagging on jewelry or rough surfaces
• Steam rather than iron to remove wrinkles
• Store flat or hung properly to maintain shape

BEADED AND EMBELLISHED GOWNS

• Test cleaning solutions on hidden areas first
• Hand clean with gentle movements
• Professional cleaning recommended for extensive beadwork
• Store flat to prevent stretching

LONG-TERM PRESERVATION GUIDELINES

For our bridal customers and special occasion wear:

1. PRE-STORAGE CLEANING

• Professional cleaning immediately after wear
• Address any stains or damage before storage
• Ensure gown is completely dry

2. STORAGE ENVIRONMENT

• Cool, dry location away from direct sunlight
• Use acid-free tissue paper for padding
• Avoid plastic bags; use breathable fabric garment bags
• Store flat or hung properly depending on weight and style

EMERGENCY CARE TIPS

Quick solutions for common issues:

STAIN MANAGEMENT

• Blot, don’t rub
• Use appropriate cleaning solutions based on fabric type
• Contact professional cleaner for serious stains

MINOR REPAIRS

• Keep an emergency kit with matching thread
• Address loose beading immediately
• Professional repair recommended for structural issues
