How do I care for pre-owned dresses?

Caring for pre-owned dresses involves cleaning, storing, and maintaining their condition. What specific dress do you have in mind?

I have a vintage silk dress. Any special tips?

For a vintage silk dress, hand wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing it out and hang it to dry.

What about storing it? I want to keep it in good shape.

Store it in a cool, dark place, ideally in a breathable garment bag. Avoid plastic, as it can trap moisture.

How often should I clean it?

Only clean it when necessary, such as after wearing it or if it gets stained. Over-cleaning can damage the fabric.
