Care Guide

To maintain the delicate beauty and longevity of your Dolce Mimmi garments, which feature exquisite mohair wool, lace, and feather details, follow these simple care instructions:

Mohair Wool

  • Hand Wash Only: To preserve the softness and structure of mohair, always hand wash your garment in cold water. Use a mild wool detergent to protect the fibers from damage.
  • Avoid Agitation: Gently press the garment in the water. Avoid wringing or twisting, as this can cause the fibers to stretch or lose their shape.
  • Rinse Carefully: Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove all soap.
  • Dry Flat: Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging to prevent stretching.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Consider using a garment bag for extra protection from dust and moths.

Lace

  • Gentle Hand Wash: Lace is delicate and should be hand-washed using cold water and a mild detergent designed for fine fabrics.
  • Avoid Bleach: Never bleach or use harsh chemicals on lace. This can damage the fine threads.
  • Do Not Rub: Gently submerge the lace in water and avoid rubbing or scrubbing. Handle with care.
  • Drying: Lay the lace flat to air dry on a towel. Avoid wringing it out, as this can cause it to lose its shape or become misshapen.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron lace on a low heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp. Always use a cloth between the lace and the iron to avoid direct heat contact.

Feathered Details

  • Spot Clean: Feathered accents should be spot cleaned only. Use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cold water and mild detergent to gently clean the affected area.
  • Avoid Immersion: Never immerse feathered garments in water, as this can cause the feathers to become limp or damaged.
  • Air Dry: After spot cleaning, gently reshape the feathers by hand and allow the garment to air dry naturally. Do not use heat or a dryer.
  • Store Carefully: When storing garments with feathers, keep them in a padded bag or box to prevent crushing or bending the delicate feathers.

General Tips

  • Avoid Friction: Be mindful of friction with rough surfaces, as mohair, lace, and feathers can be easily damaged by abrasive contact.
  • Use a Garment Bag: When washing or storing delicate items, consider using a mesh garment bag to reduce wear and tear.
  • Keep Away from Moisture and Heat: Excessive heat, humidity, or direct sunlight can harm delicate fabrics. Always store in a cool, dry area away from light.

 

By following these simple steps, your Dolce Mimmi creations will remain as exquisite and enchanting as the day you first wore them.
