How should I care for my items?Updated 2 months ago
Almond Muse pieces are made from refined fabrics and delicate constructions, designed for special occasions and timeless elegance. To preserve their beauty and longevity, it’s important to follow specific care instructions, especially since many items feature satin finishes, built-in structure, or embellishments.
This article outlines our garment care guidelines to help you protect your investment.
General care instructions
Most Almond Muse garments require the following care:
Dry Clean Only (strongly recommended for all formalwear)
Do not bleach
Do not tumble dry
Steam instead of ironing to maintain fabric integrity
Store properly using breathable cotton bags and contoured hangers
At-home care (if allowed)
For select pieces labeled “hand wash” on their care tags:
Use cold water and a neutral detergent
Gently hand wash; do not wring, twist, or scrub
Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight
Never tumble dry or machine wash, even on delicate cycles
Always check the garment’s internal care label for specific instructions since not all pieces are safe to hand wash.
Steaming vs. ironing
We highly recommend steaming your dress to remove wrinkles. Steaming:
Helps preserve delicate textures like satin and chiffon
Prevents fiber compression and shine from direct heat
Is gentler on linings and seams
If you must iron:
Use low heat (one dot symbol)
Place a cotton cloth between the iron and fabric
Avoid embellishments, printed areas, and seams
Storage tips
To keep your dresses in perfect condition when not in use:
Hang structured dresses on contoured or padded hangers to prevent stretching at the shoulders
Store in a cotton garment bag to protect from dust and light exposure
Avoid storing in plastic covers, which can trap moisture and cause mildew or yellowing
For long-term storage, place lavender or cedar sachets inside your wardrobe to deter moths (avoid direct contact with fabric)
