Care & Notes

• Care: Typically dry clean is recommended for taffeta to preserve body and sheen. If hand- or machine-washing, test a small swatch first; use cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, and hang to dry. Do not bleach.
• Pressing: Use a cool iron on the wrong side with a press cloth; test temperature on a scrap to avoid shine.
• Color & Finish: Actual color may vary with lighting and screen settings. When gathered, color may appear darker than when laid flat.
• Cut & Condition: Fabric may arrive with wrinkles, natural weaving imperfections, or edges not cut perfectly straight; allow for trimming and pressing during preparation.
