• Never wring or twist
Additional Care Tips
- • Hand wash in cold water (30°C/85°F) with delicate detergent, or dry clean for best results
- • Never wring, twist, or rub — chiffon tears easily when wet; gently swish in water
- • Air dry flat on a clean towel — never tumble dry or hang while dripping wet
- • Iron on the lowest heat setting with a press cloth barrier to prevent scorching
- • Store on padded hangers inside a breathable garment bag to prevent snags
- • Avoid contact with jewelry, Velcro, or rough surfaces which can pull and tear the delicate weave
