Care & Maintenance Guide
Preserving your Sweet Lolita salopette ensures it remains a cherished piece of your collection for years to come.
Washing Instructions
- Hand Washing (Recommended): Gently hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. This method is ideal for preserving the delicate embroidery, pompom details, and ruffled trims

- Detergent Tips: Avoid bleach and highly concentrated detergents. Always dissolve powder detergent completely in water before submerging the garment
