'midday fireworks of flowers' silk maxi dress

If you love wearing long fluid dresses, you will absolutely love putting this one on! Made out of mixed silk crepe materials, hand-painted and hand-printed, it is medium weight and has just enough room to feel comfortable yet not too roomy (meant for size small to medium). It has an overall straight-down design with a bit of flare toward the bottom. Great as a floor sweeper, it can be shortened of course if you require it to be shorter, at no extra charge. The name was prompted by the top design which is abstractly floral in the front and fireworks-like in back. Great day-time piece, it can easily be dressed up for the night as the colors are on the darker side. Hand-painted in slightly distressed colors. Washable, dryable and wrinkle resistant. Product code: K3951

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.

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.
