Gota Jaal on Organza

Washing: Dry clean only. Water will cause the crisp organza base to go limp and warp, which will pull, distort, or loosen the delicate, hand-stitched metallic Gota Jaal (network embroidery).

Drying: Keep completely away from moisture. If the garment gets damp, air dry it immediately in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Keep it out of direct sunlight, which dulls the metallic shine of the Gota and weakens the fine organza fibers. Never tumble dry.

Ironing: Iron strictly on the reverse side using the lowest cool setting. Always place a clean cotton pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Never use steam or a garment steamer, as moisture can tarnish the Gota metal and permanently flatten the intricate Jaal work.

Storage: Wrap in a soft muslin cloth or acid-free tissue paper and store flat. Avoid folding directly across heavy Gota lines to prevent the metal from bending or cracking. Never use plastic bags, which trap moisture and cause the metallic work to turn black. Charmeuse Silk

Washing: Dry clean only is highly recommended to preserve the pristine glossy finish. If hand washing, use cold water and a specialized silk wash. Turn inside out and gently swirl—never rub, scrub, or wring the fabric.

Drying: Air dry flat in the shade. Gently roll the garment in a clean towel to absorb excess water (never twist), then lay flat. Never tumble dry or hang while soaking wet, as gravity will stretch the weave.

Ironing: Iron strictly on the reverse (dull) side while slightly damp. Use the lowest silk setting and always use a clean cotton pressing cloth. Avoid steam, as water droplets can cause permanent water spots.

Storage: Hang on wide, padded hangers or store gently folded inside a breathable cotton garment bag. Keep away from plastic boxes, dampness, and rough surfaces that could snag the satin weave.
