    How to care for dark academia dresses 

    It’s easy to care for your favourite dark academic dress from Son de Flor. Linen is actually easier to look after than people realise, and with gentle care, it will age beautifully and retain its beautiful texture and rich colours. Follow these tips for success:

    • Wash your linen dresses in warm water with a gentle detergent and no bleach. Our dresses are all pre-shrunk, so you don’t have to worry!

    • Don’t tumble dry or dry clean your linen dresses.

    • Dry your linen dresses flat or on the line, and then store them folded, rolled, or hung, but away from sunshine.

    • Linen is meant to be slightly rumpled, but you can also iron your dark academic dress from Son de Flor for a crisper finish. 

    • For academic work travel, roll your dresses and store them in a fabric bag.
