Care Instructions

Dry Clean Recommended: For the best results and to preserve embroidery, delicate fabrics, and embellishments, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. This is especially important for banarasi silk, designer, or heavily embellished blouses.

1. Gentle Hand Wash (if allowed by care label)
   
2. Fill a clean basin with cold water.
   
3. Add a small amount of mild detergent meant for delicates (avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners).
   
4. Gently submerge the blouse; softly agitate with hands. Do not scrub or wring the fabric.
   
5. Rinse thoroughly in cold water until all detergent is removed.
   
6. Press out water by gently pressing the blouse between clean towels. Do not twist or wring.
   
7. Drying: Lay the blouse flat on a towel or hang it in a shaded, airy place to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors and weaken fabric.
   
8. Storage: Store completely dry blouses in a cool, dry space, ideally wrapped in cotton fabric or a muslin cover. Do not hang heavy or embellished blouses by shoulders for long as this can distort their shape.
   
9. General Tips: Always check your blouse’s specific care label—manufacturer’s recommendations should be the final authority. For intricate/expensive blouses, dry cleaning is safest.
