Your Artistic Draped Wedding Dress is a delicate and special garment. Follow these care instructions to ensure it remains in pristine condition:

1. Handling

• Always handle the dress with clean, dry hands.
• Avoid excessive pulling or tugging on the draped fabric or embellishments.
• When trying the dress on, ensure to step in rather than pulling it over your head to prevent damaging the draped design.

2. Storage

• Store the dress in a breathable garment bag made of muslin or cotton. Avoid plastic covers, as they can trap moisture.
• Hang the dress by the loops sewn into the side seams to support its weight. Avoid hanging it directly from the shoulder straps or draped areas to prevent stretching or distortion.
• If possible, store the dress in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.

3. Cleaning

• Professional Dry Cleaning Only: Due to the delicate nature of the fabric and draping, this dress should be professionally dry cleaned by a specialist who has experience with wedding dresses.
• Inform the cleaner of any specific fabric types, embellishments (beading, lace, etc.), and draping details to ensure careful cleaning.
• Do not attempt to machine wash, hand wash, or spot clean unless advised by a professional.

4. Stain Removal

• For any minor stains or spills, blot gently with a white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can set the stain further into the fabric.
• Seek immediate professional care for any significant stains (wine, makeup, etc.) to prevent permanent damage.

5. Ironing and Steaming

• Avoid ironing the dress directly, especially on the draped areas, as heat can damage the delicate fabric.
• If needed, use a handheld steamer on a low setting to gently remove wrinkles, holding the steamer at least 6-8 inches away from the fabric to prevent watermarks.
• Alternatively, you may hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to allow natural de-wrinkling without direct contact with steam.

6. After the Wedding

• Have the dress professionally cleaned as soon as possible after the wedding to remove any stains, perspiration, or dirt that may have accumulated.
• For long-term preservation, consider having the dress boxed in acid-free tissue paper and a preservation box. Make sure the box is stored in a climate-controlled environment to avoid damage from humidity or temperature changes.

By following these care instructions, your Artistic Draped Wedding Dress will remain beautiful and ready for future use or keepsake purposes.
