Care Instructions
-
Machine wash cold (max 30°C) on a gentle cycle to preserve the softness, breathability, and refined texture of the Breathable Premium Linen fabric.
-
Use a mild liquid detergent to help maintain the fabric’s natural comfort and preserve the richness of the black color.
-
Do not bleach or use fabric softener, as they may affect the linen’s natural texture, color retention, and long-term durability.
-
Do not soak for extended periods to help maintain fabric strength and prevent unnecessary fading.
-
Turn the dress inside out before washing to help protect the fabric surface, Cuban collar, and open-back detail.
-
Hang dry in shade on a hanger to help maintain the dress’s silhouette and preserve the structure of the collar.
-
Iron on low to medium heat while slightly damp, preferably on the reverse side, to smooth wrinkles and maintain the fabric’s refined appearance.
-
Do not tumble dry, as excessive heat may affect the natural characteristics and longevity of the linen fibers.
-
Do not dry clean to preserve the natural softness, breathability, and relaxed elegance of the premium linen fabric.
Storage
-
Hang neatly on a padded or shaped hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
-
Keep sufficient space between garments to help maintain the shape of the Cuban collar and prevent unnecessary creasing.
-
Store only when completely dry to preserve fabric integrity and ensure long-lasting quality.
Additional Advice
-
Wash separately or with similar dark colors during the first few washes to minimize the risk of color transfer.
-
Remove promptly from the washer after the cycle ends to reduce wrinkles and maintain the fabric’s naturally relaxed drape.
-
Natural linen fibers will continue to soften over time, enhancing comfort while maintaining their breathable and durable qualities.
-
Handle the open-back detail with care during wear and laundering to help maintain its shape and refined appearance.
-
Proper care will help preserve the Petra Dress’s timeless silhouette, rich black color, and effortless balance of comfort and sophistication for seasons to come.
