💚 Material Composition & Care Mastery
Fabric Breakdown
- OP Main Fabric: 100% cotton (breathable, skin-friendly, naturally thermoregulating)

- Blouse Outer: 100% cotton (matches OP aesthetic, easy care)

Washing Instructions for Longevity
Hand Washing (Recommended): Use cool water with mild detergent. This gentle method preserves fabric integrity, maintains color vibrancy, and extends garment lifespan by up to 3x compared to machine washing.
Machine Washing: If necessary, place dress in protective laundry bag on delicate cycle with cool water. Remove all decorative elements (hairbow, choker) before washing.
Important Pre-Wash Steps:
- Detach blouse and hair accessories before washing
- Separate dark and light colors to prevent dye transfer
- Dissolve powder detergent completely before immersion to avoid spotting
- Avoid bleach and highly concentrated detergents (use 1/3 normal detergent amount)
Drying Protocol: Air dry exclusively in shade on flat surface or hanging form. Never use tumble dryer or direct sunlight, as heat and UV exposure fade the delicate rose print and weaken cotton fibers. Shaded drying preserves the mint green base color authenticity.
Shrinkage Notice: Cotton may contract 3-5% after initial wash. We recommend a cool-water test wash before wearing to important events. Consider sizing up if you prefer maximum comfort post-wash.
Storage & Maintenance
- Between Wears: Hang on padded hanger to maintain structured silhouette and prevent wrinkles
- Long-Term Storage: Store in breathable cotton garment bag in cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture
- Travel Care: Fold carefully into dry travel storage bag; allow 24 hours to air out and restore body after unpacking
- Accessory Storage: Keep hairbow in protective box to maintain wire shape; store choker separately to prevent tangling
