Silk dresses are luxurious and delicate, requiring special care to maintain their texture and shine. Here are some general wash and care instructions for pure silk dresses:

2. Soak the dress in cold water for 10-15 minutes before washing to remove any stains or dirt.
3. Gently wash the dress by hand, using a soft brush or sponge if necessary. Avoid rubbing the fabric too hard or wringing it out, as this can damage the fibres.
4. Rinse the dress thoroughly with cold water to remove all traces of detergent.
5. Hang the dress to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, to avoid fading or discoloration. Do not tumble dry or wring the dress, as this can damage the fabric.
