How to care for Carmen dresses
To care for your Carmen dress, think “gentle and natural”. Firstly, because linen is a natural, breathable material, you may find you don’t need to wash it as often as any manmade fabrics you have in your wardrobe. Follow these steps;
-
Wash your Carmen dress in warm water with a natural, eco-friendly detergent
-
Avoid the linen no-no’s - bleach, dry-cleaning and tumble drying!
-
Simply dry your dress on the line, or lay it flat.
-
You don’t need to iron linen because its texture is part of the appeal, but you can iron it damp, on a low heat, if you wish.
