'tropical paradise' mulberry silk maxi dress

So incredibly pleasant to wear and such beautiful colors! This Italian mulberry silk is wonderfully soft, easy care (washable), and features a strikingly beautiful, very spring-and-summer-y look and feel. Dress is down easily with a casual purse and chunky sandals, or dress it up for other occasions if you want. These colors combine beautifully with black and white, so either in those for a jacket and purse will work well. Swings around like only silk can as you walk, caught by your movement and air. Bias front cut will follow your figure beautifully. If you need it to be shorter or longer, just ask - always a possibility. Large front pocket with signature hanging pieces will keep a few lightweight things in, too. Product code: R1272

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.
