'no explanatory note' hand-painted A-line silk maxi dress
If it were only possible to show the feeling you get while wearing this dress! Feminine, ready for fun, free-spirited, a bit mysterious, and simply shining from within are some that we can suggest. Made out of mixed lightweight silks, it has so much silk in it that actually has some weight to it - not heavy but definitely palpable, which makes for a billowy silhouette with movement. The silks themselves are beautiful to explore, from knit top to georgette in the middle and crushed taffeta on top, just to name a few. A detailed pocket adds to its artistic look and feel. Hand-painted in deep purple and off-blue as the main colors, it can be worn with a number of different jackets, with a few suggestions shown in the pictures. Product code: D1213

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.
