Dress Care Guide

At Valenne, we believe that every dress is more than just a garment—it's a piece designed to make you feel confident and elegant. With the proper care, your dress will maintain its beauty, shape, and quality for years to come. This guide provides practical recommendations to help you keep your Valenne pieces in excellent condition.

General Care

• Always check the care label inside your garment before washing or cleaning.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as it may cause colors to fade over time.

• Keep dresses away from rough surfaces and sharp accessories that may snag delicate fabrics.

• Apply perfume, deodorant, body lotions, and hairspray before getting dressed to prevent stains or fabric damage.

• If your dress becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally before storing it.

• Avoid overfilling wardrobes, as crowded garments can lose their shape and become wrinkled.

Washing Instructions

Care requirements vary depending on the fabric. Please refer to your garment's care label for specific instructions.

General Guidelines

Fabric Type	Recommended Care
Cotton	Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
Linen	Gentle wash or hand wash. Hang to dry naturally.
Polyester	Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle.
Satin	Hand wash or professional dry cleaning recommended.
Silk	Dry clean only unless otherwise indicated.
Lace & Embellished Dresses	Hand wash carefully or dry clean. Avoid twisting or wringing.

Important: Always separate light and dark colors before washing. Use mild detergents and avoid bleach unless specifically permitted on the care label.

Drying

• Air drying is recommended whenever possible.

• Hang dresses on appropriate hangers to help maintain their shape.

• Avoid tumble drying delicate fabrics, as excessive heat may cause shrinkage or damage.

• Keep garments away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters.

Ironing & Steaming

• Always follow the ironing temperature indicated on the care label.

• Steam is often the safest option for delicate fabrics.

• If ironing, use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric when working with silk, satin, or embellished garments.

• Never iron directly over sequins, embroidery, or decorative details.

Stain Care

Treat stains as soon as possible for the best results.

• Gently blot spills with a clean cloth—do not rub.

• Avoid harsh stain removers on delicate fabrics.

• For stubborn stains, professional cleaning is recommended.

Storage

Proper storage helps preserve your garments.

• Store dresses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Use quality hangers to maintain the garment's shape.

• For long-term storage, use breathable garment bags rather than plastic covers.

• Keep garments clean before storing to prevent permanent stains or discoloration.

• Avoid placing heavy clothing on top of delicate dresses.

Special Occasion Dresses

Evening gowns and dresses with embellishments require extra care.

• Handle beading, sequins, lace, and embroidery carefully.

• Dry clean when recommended on the care label.

• Store in a garment bag to protect delicate details from dust and friction.

Professional Cleaning

For delicate fabrics such as silk, satin, velvet, lace, or dresses with embellishments, professional dry cleaning is the safest option. Following the care label recommendations will help preserve the quality and longevity of your garment.
