'dreaming in the garden' detailed hand-painted overlay top

So feminine, so light and pleasant to wear, and so dreamy! This ephemeral feel top has a fine silk/cotton blend knit for the body and weightless gossamer silk overlay in rows, with some embroidery and overstitching on top. Hard to think of anything more feminine or with a more spring-and-summer feel! Has a bit of stretch for comfort. Will be beautiful with white and neutrals, as well as bolder colors.

Hand wash.

All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.

Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.

To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.

All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.

Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.

Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.

For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
