Upon receiving your gown, unpack as soon as possible
and hang in a warm room to allow creases to drop.
A steamy bathroom is a good place to do this, taking care not to allow
the gown to get wet. Follow the care label. Most garments can be
lightly pressed inside out using a press cloth and a cool iron. If
in doubt your local dry cleaner should offer a pressing/steaming
service. Do NOT iron taffeta as it will mark. Never iron a
gown on the front side. Do not use direct steam on garments with beadwork
or decoration and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Many of Red
Carpet's unique garments are intricately hand embellished. Such garments
should be treated with great care at all times. Loose beads and sequins
are inevitable even on new items and should be secured immediately where
noticed to prevent further bead loss.
Some sequins and beads are specially dyed to give the exquisite effects
designed, this particular process can result in slight fading of the
intensity of colour when cleaned. Special care should be taken to follow
recommendations for cleaning to prevent deterioration of the beauty of
embellished garments -always use a dry cleaner experienced with these
types of garments.
Any stains should be removed as soon as possible -
most gowns are dry clean or spot clean only and you should consult a
reputable dry cleaner.
Use of a garment cover will extend the life of
your dress and keep it looking its best.
Heavy gowns are best stored flat as storing
long-term on a
hanger will cause them to lose shape, stretch and drop.
Alterations are a necessary part of a
perfect fit with special occasion wear - you should consult a reputable
seamstress regarding alterations but we are happy to assist with queries
prior to purchase. |
