Care & Maintenance for Longevity
To preserve the integrity and beauty of your gothic shorts ensemble:
- Detach the Cape: Always remove the chiffon cape before washing to prevent snagging
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gentle hand washing in cool water extends the life of delicate mesh and chiffon components
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh chemicals that can fade the black dye or damage the elastane blend
- Air Dry Only: Never use a dryer. Lay flat or hang to air dry to maintain shape and prevent shrinkage
- Iron on Low: If needed, iron on low heat with a cloth barrier, especially for the chiffon cape
- Metal Care: Gently wipe rivets and buckles with a soft cloth to maintain their shine
- Storage Tip: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity
