Product Care Guide for Dimpall Tailor’s Lucknowi Dresses
At Dimpall Tailor, we take pride in the exquisite craftsmanship of our Lucknowi dresses. To ensure that your beautiful Lucknowi pieces remain as stunning as the day you received from us, please follow these care instructions:
1. Washing Instructions :
- Hand Wash Preferred: Always hand wash Lucknowi dresses brought from us to avoid damage to the delicate embroidery. Use mild shampoo or baby shampoo.
- Cold Water: Use cold water to prevent shrinking and preserve the threadwork.
- Avoid Bleach: Refrain from using bleach or harsh chemicals that can weaken the fabric and fade the embroidery.
- Soak Gently: If soaking is needed, do so for only a few minutes to prevent fabric damage and affect the threadwork.
2. Drying Instructions:
- Air Dry: Lay the garment flat on a clean towel to air dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Avoid Wringing: Never wring the fabric to avoid distortion of the embroidery.
- Hanging Method: Use padded hangers if hanging the dress to prevent stretching.
3. Ironing:
- Low Heat: Iron at low heat to avoid scorching the fabric and damaging the embroidery.
- Inside Out: Iron the dress inside out or use a thin cotton cloth between the dress and the iron.
- Steam Ironing: Use steam to gently smooth out wrinkles without direct heat.
4. Storage:
- Cool, Dry Place: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and discoloration.
- Fold with Care: Fold carefully to avoid creasing. Store in a muslin cloth or cotton bag.
- Avoid Plastic Bags: Do not use plastic bags as they trap moisture.
5. Handling Stains:
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, gently dab with a soft cloth and cold water mixed with mild shampoo.
- Professional Cleaning: For tougher stains, seek professional dry cleaning for delicate fabrics like Chikankari.
6. Preventing Damage
- Avoid Jewelry Snags: Be cautious with jewelry that may snag the embroidery.
- Perfume and Deodorant: Apply before wearing to prevent stains.
