How to Care for a Linen Dress

How to care for a linen dress starts with the care label. Linen garments vary: some are lined, some are combined with other fabrics such as viscose or silk, and some are finished with structured details. Every ALISADUDAJ* linen dress is labelled Dry Clean Only, so the advice below is written with that in mind.

1. Follow the label

Check the care instructions on the product page and on the garment before cleaning. For our linen pieces, that means professional dry cleaning only. Avoid machine washing or hand washing them at home.

2. Tell your dry cleaner what the dress is made of

Share the fabric details with your dry cleaner, especially for pieces that combine fabrics, such as our ONE-SHOULDER DRAPED DRESS in linen and viscose, or our cream linen beach dresses, which have one part in silk and one in linen. Point out linings, corsetry and delicate details so they can be handled appropriately.

3. Deal with spills promptly

If something spills, gently blot the area with a clean cloth rather than rubbing, and take the dress to your dry cleaner as soon as you can. Let them know what the stain is.

4. Managing creases

Linen creases naturally, and a few soft creases are part of its character. For a crisper finish before an event, ask your dry cleaner to press the dress. If you use a steamer at home, check with your dry cleaner first and test it on an inside seam.

5. Store it well

• Hang dresses on a padded or wide hanger to protect the shoulders and straps.
• Give each piece some space in your wardrobe so it does not crush.
• Use a breathable garment bag rather than plastic for longer storage.
• Keep dresses away from direct sunlight to help protect the colour.

6. When travelling

Roll or fold the dress loosely with tissue paper, unpack it as soon as you arrive and hang it up to let creases relax.
