Please follow the care instructions included with your purchase. Different trims and fabrics can slightly alter how best to care for your cherished treasure. Here are a few general tips which will keep your gift looking as new for generations to come.


When washing:


  • Most christening gowns are hand washed unless otherwise stated. (Check and see - your special occasion outfit may be dry clean only).
  • When drying hand washed garments, gently roll in an absorbent white towel to remove excess water. Do not spin, wring or twist.
  • Place your garment in shade to dry. The sun will cause delicate fabrics to yellow. Never leave garments to dry in the sun.
  • Iron on the correct setting for the garment eg. cotton, silk etc
  • Cover laces with a pressing cloth for protection when ironing, as laces can be damaged by a hot iron.
  • It is best to iron garments from the inside. (the reverse side of the garment)
  • Always clean your item thoroughly before storing.
  • The final rinse water must be clear, ensuring soap residue has been totally removed.
  • Do not use starch or fabric softener before storing the item.

When storing:


  • Wrap your garment in acid free tissue paper for storage. Generously insert acid free tissue between the folds of the garment for maximum protection.
  • Then store wrapped item in an acid free box. (tissue and box must be acid free to stop the garment getting into contact with chemicals which cause fibers to tarnish)
  • Annually air out your item to stop mould and mildew forming. This is a perfect time to reminisce.
