How to Care for Western Dresses and Keep Them Looking Fresh

Good care can help your favourite dress keep its shape, colour and finish for longer.

Read the care label

Always start with the instructions supplied with the garment. Different fabrics require different washing and drying methods.

Use gentle washing

When the label allows machine washing, choose a gentle cycle and avoid overcrowding the machine. For delicate designs, hand washing may be more suitable.

Dry thoughtfully

Keep delicate garments away from excessive heat and direct harsh sunlight unless the care label says otherwise.

Store by fabric and shape

Fold heavier knit styles and hang structured dresses on a suitable hanger. Make sure garments are completely dry before storing them.

Product-specific care instructions always take priority over this general guide.
