🧵 Care & Maintenance
To preserve the beauty and integrity of your gothic skirt for years to come:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Use cool water and gentle detergent to protect the delicate mesh layers and maintain the fabric’s sheen
- Gentle Handling: The mesh panels require careful attention; avoid aggressive wringing or twisting
- Air Dry Only: Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight, which may fade the black dye
- Hardware Care: Periodically check metal O-rings and buckles for any loosening; they add to the piece’s character and should be maintained
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent mildew on the layered materials
- Ironing: Use low heat if needed; avoid direct contact with the mesh to prevent damage
