Caring for your cotton dress is essential to maintain its beauty and longevity. Start by checking the care label for specific instructions, as different cotton blends may have unique requirements.
When washing, turn your dress inside out and use cold or warm water to prevent shrinking and fading. Choose a gentle cycle and add a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the fibers. For delicate or embellished garments, consider hand washing.
Pre-treat any stains before washing by gently applying a stain remover or detergent directly to the affected area. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before washing.
After washing, gently reshape the dress and air dry it on a padded hanger or lay it flat to prevent stretching. If using a dryer, opt for low heat and remove promptly to minimize wrinkles.
Iron on medium heat if needed, being careful around delicate areas or embellishments. For storage, hang your garment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight using a padded hanger to maintain its shape.
By following these simple care instructions, you'll ensure your cotton garment remains fresh, vibrant, and ready to wear for many occasions to come.
