'up and down go the stairs' hand-painted luxury slip dress
To the artist, the black lines in this dress are like stair steps, in case you were wondering about the name! This dress is pure luxury, made out of heavy silk crepe back satin, which has a slight sheen on top of all the other fabulous properties of silk crepe. Non-wrinkling, too, so dense is the weave. This elegant dress has a simple design, being all about the uniqueness of the painting, which makes it a truly wearable fine art piece you are guaranteed to get noticed in. Different jackets and matching scarves/shawls are available, please ask if you cannot locate them on the site. Can be made shorter by request. Product code: R6751

Hand wash cold, briefly, minimal mild detergent, dryer ok, pre-shrunk; or dry clean.
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.
