Our pieces are made to last well beyond a season. How you care for them decides how long.
Lace & 3D Floral Appliqué
- Dry clean only
- Never machine wash — agitation loosens hand-applied detail
- Store flat or hang with the floral detail facing outward
- Do not fold appliqué inward; the shape will not recover
- Iron on low heat through a cloth, avoiding the appliqué entirely
Silk
- Dry clean recommended for structured pieces
- Hand wash cold with a mild detergent if the label allows
- Never wring — press the water out between towels
- Dry flat away from direct sunlight, which fades color
- Iron on the reverse while slightly damp
Tweed
- Dry clean only
- Brush gently along the weave to lift surface dust
- Hang on a padded hanger to hold the shoulder line
- Give tweed room in your closet; tweed holds a crease
Pleated Pieces
- Hang to dry — never tumble dry
- Do not iron pleats flat; the fold is set into the fabric
- Store hanging, gathered loosely rather than pressed
Linen & Cotton
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
- Wash with similar colors
- Hang to dry; heat sets creases permanently
- Iron while slightly damp for a smooth finish
General
- Air a garment after wearing rather than washing it every time
- Treat marks promptly — set stains are far harder to lift
- Keep fragrance and hairspray away from lace and silk
- Store out of direct sunlight
