How to Take Care of Your Dresses & Jalabiyas

Every dress and jalabiya in our collection is crafted with love, detail, and high-quality fabrics. To preserve their elegance and beauty, it’s important to care for them properly. With the right care, your outfit will remain as stunning as the day you received it.

1. General Care Tips

  • Handle with Care: Always treat your dresses and jalabiyas gently, especially those made with lace, chiffon, or embroidered details.

  • Avoid Overuse of Perfume & Deodorant: Spray perfumes before dressing to prevent stains or fabric discoloration.

  • Jewelry Awareness: Be mindful of rings, bracelets, or handbags that may catch delicate threads or embellishments.

2. Washing Instructions

  • Hand Wash Preferred: Hand washing in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent is the safest method.

  • Machine Wash (if necessary): Use a gentle cycle in a garment bag to protect the fabric.

  • Avoid Bleach: Bleach and harsh chemicals can damage delicate fabrics and embroidery.

  • Dry Cleaning: For heavily embroidered, beaded, or luxury fabrics, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.

3. Drying

  • Air Dry Only: Lay flat or hang in a shaded area to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

  • No Tumble Dry: High heat can shrink or damage fabrics. Always avoid machine dryers.

4. Ironing & Steaming

  • Low Heat: Use a low-temperature setting on your iron.

  • Inside Out: Iron or steam from the inside to protect delicate designs.

  • Steaming: For chiffon, tulle, and lace, a handheld steamer is safer than ironing.

5. Storage

  • Hang Properly: Use padded or wide hangers to keep the shape of your dress or jalabiya.

  • Cover with Garment Bag: Store in a breathable garment bag to protect from dust and humidity.

  • Avoid Plastic Covers: Plastic traps moisture and may cause yellowing over time.

  • Fold for Heavy Embroidery: For heavily embellished pieces, fold them carefully with tissue paper to avoid stretching.

6. Special Fabrics Care

  • Chiffon & Tulle: Handle delicately, avoid sharp objects, and steam gently to remove wrinkles.

  • Lace: Hand wash only, never wring. Lay flat to dry.

  • Satin & Silk: Dry clean for the best results. Store away from sunlight to prevent fading.

  • Cotton Jalabiya: Easy care—machine wash cold on gentle cycle, iron on medium heat.

7. Long-Term Care

  • Rotate Usage: Avoid wearing the same delicate dress frequently to prolong its lifespan.

  • Check Regularly: Inspect embroidery, zippers, and seams for small issues and repair early before they worsen.

  • Keep Fresh: Air out your dresses and jalabiyas occasionally to keep them fresh, especially if stored long-term.

✨ By following these care tips, your dresses and jalabiyas will stay elegant, comfortable, and beautiful for years to come.
