Special Notes

• Delicate cycle protects eyelet holes from snagging

Additional Care Tips

• Machine wash on delicate cycle in cold water (30°C/85°F) in a mesh laundry bag
• Use mild detergent — harsh chemicals can weaken the embroidered edges
• Air dry flat or on a hanger; tumble drying can shrink and distort the cut-out pattern
• Iron on medium heat on the reverse side to protect the embroidered eyelet details
• Hand wash for delicate pieces with fine embroidery
• Store folded gently — avoid crushing the dimensional embroidered edges
