Care & Instruction
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your Amonite dresses, proper care is essential. Follow these guidelines to keep your garments looking their best for years to come.
General Care Tips
- Read the Label: Always check the care label inside your dress for specific washing, drying, and ironing instructions.
- Handle with Care: Avoid excessive pulling or stretching to maintain the fabric’s integrity and fit.
- Separate Colors: Wash similar colors together to prevent color bleeding or fading.
Washing Instructions
Machine Washable Fabrics:
- Use a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent shrinkage or damage.
- Avoid harsh detergents; opt for mild, color-safe detergents instead.
Hand Wash Fabrics:
- Use lukewarm water and a gentle detergent.
- Soak for 5–10 minutes and gently agitate. Rinse thoroughly and avoid wringing the fabric.
Dry Clean Only:
- For delicate fabrics or intricate designs, take your dress to a professional dry cleaner.
Drying Instructions
Air Drying:
- Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry towel or hang it on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
Machine Drying:
- Only tumble dry if the care label permits, and always use a low-heat setting.
Ironing & Steaming
Ironing:
- Use a low-heat setting for delicate fabrics. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid damage.
Steaming:
- A handheld steamer is ideal for removing wrinkles from delicate fabrics without direct contact.
Storage Tips
- Hanging: Use padded or wide hangers to prevent stretching or misshaping.
- Folding: For heavy or embellished dresses, fold carefully to avoid stress on seams and store in a breathable garment bag.
- Avoid Moisture: Store your dresses in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or mildew.
Special Care for Embellished Dresses
- Handle sequins, beads, and embroidery with extra care to avoid snagging.
- Store embellished dresses in a separate garment bag to prevent damage from friction.
Stain Removal Tips
- Oil-Based Stains: Use a small amount of dish soap and cold water. Dab gently—do not rub.
- Wine or Juice Stains: Apply a mixture of baking soda and water to the affected area and rinse with cold water.
- Professional Help: For stubborn stains, seek assistance from a professional cleaner.
