Learn how to look after the most delicate piece in your wardrobe following our step-by-step guide.
Every wardrobe has that one special dress – that unique garment you look forward to wearing when the occasion calls for it – and, although it might not seem like it, looking after it is easier than you think. A good hanger, a steam iron, a soft brush, a little talcum powder, and letting gravity do its work is all you need.
Take note, follow the step-by-step guide and don’t forget: delicate fabrics have a very good memory.
Don’t be afraid to get the iron out – just make sure it’s a steam iron; it works wonders on delicate fabrics. Run it up and down, keeping a small gap between the iron and the fabric so as not to damage it. Gravity does the rest and the creases disappear. It’s that simple.

If you get a wine stain, stay calm. There’s a solution! First, gently blot it with an absorbent napkin. Next, apply a little talcum powder to remove any remaining residue. Finally, brush away the last traces with a soft brush. Oh, and be patient. If it doesn’t come out the first time, try again.
If the time comes when you need to wash it, use cold water and, above all, do it carefully. Swish it around in a basin, and never wring it out, or you risk damaging the fabric. Lay it flat to dry and leave it to rest. After a few hours, it will be perfect and ready to make you shine once again.
