How to Care for Embroidered Chiffon Outfits

Embroidered chiffon is light and delicate, so a little care goes a long way. These are general tips; always check the care label on your outfit first.

Start with the label

Care instructions vary by fabric, embroidery and lining. If the label says dry clean only, follow it.

Washing

• If hand washing is allowed, use cool water and a mild detergent.
• Do not wring or twist; press water out gently.
• Wash heavily embroidered pieces separately to avoid snagging.

Drying

Dry flat or hang in the shade. Direct sun can fade colours, and tumble drying can damage embroidery and fabric.

Ironing and steaming

Use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth, and iron on the reverse side. A garment steamer is a gentle option for chiffon.

Storage

• Store in a breathable garment bag.
• Hang heavy outfits carefully or fold with tissue between layers.
• Keep away from rough surfaces that can catch threads.

Snags and loose threads

Do not pull a loose thread; trim it carefully or ask a tailor. See our chiffon collection for more pieces.
