How to Measure & Choose Your Perfect Size
To ensure the most accurate fit, measure your body while wearing minimal clothing. Refer to the measurement guide provided with detailed visual instructions. When comparing measurements, note that all chart measurements represent half of the full garment width (from seam to seam), so double these figures mentally when comparing to your full-body measurements.

Washing: Hand wash recommended in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid prolonged soaking to preserve fabric integrity and embroidery vibrancy.
Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid direct sunlight exposure to maintain the deep wine red color.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Preserve the structure by hanging or carefully folding. Consider using acid-free tissue paper to prevent creasing.
