TO DRY CLEAN: Inform the Dry Cleaner that your garment is made from silk so that it will not be cleaned with heavier garments that could harm your silk garment. Some Dry Cleaners use solutions that are not best for silks. Be sure to let your dry cleaner know you prefer to have your silk garments cleaned with the appropriate solution.

TO HAND WASH: Wash in cool water. Use a mild detergent,Only a small amount of soap is needed as silk resists soiling. Rinse very well in cold water. Hang or lay flat to dry in shade. If pressing is required, press on wrong side of fabric. A low to moderate steam setting may be used or the fabric may be pressed while still damp (dry setting: low to medium). We suggest that you use an all cotton ironing board cover. DO NOT USE BLEACH OR PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN BLEACH.

PLEASE NOTE: Some silks may shrink slightly when washed. Garments made with delicate fabrics such as georgette, gauze, and chiffon, garments made with a combination of fabrics or garments that are highly detailed probably should not be machine washed. 

To clean your more delicate fabrics such as georgette, gauze, and chiffon, first wash the garments in tepid water with a mild detergent.Do not wring, but lay on a towel and roll up, squeezing moisture into the towel. Hang or lay flat to dry in the shade. When nearly dry press with a warm iron, stretching the fabric slightly. Repeat as needed, taking care to be gentle with this delicate fabric. Some of these items may be more delicate and may benefit from dry cleaning as opposed to washing. Should you wash these lighter fabrics, they may appear to be smaller after washing, but will return to their original size and shape when they are lightly and gently ironed.

Irregularities and variations in weave of silk fabrics are characteristic and are not to be considered defective.
