Washing
Cotton and rayon pieces can be hand washed in cold water with a mild detergent. Wash dark and printed colours separately, and do not wring rayon. Roman silk and heavily embroidered sets are best dry cleaned. Check the care instructions on each product page before washing.
Drying
Dry printed cottons in the shade to keep the colours bright.
Ironing
Iron on the reverse side on a low-to-medium setting. Steam works well for rayon and silk; keep the iron off embroidery and mirror work.
Storing
Store your clothes in breathable cotton or muslin bags rather than plastic covers, which trap moisture and cause yellowing. Refold heavier sets every few months so the creases do not set.
Little things
Avoid spraying perfume directly onto your clothes, as it can stain the fabric and darken metal threads. If a thread comes loose, never pull it; snip it carefully with small scissors.
