You love your dress. Let’s keep it that way.

Here’s how to help it last through a hundred wears and still feel like new:

• Wash less, air more. If it’s not dirty, just hang it out.

• Handwash when in doubt. Especially with satin or delicate fabric.

• Skip the dryer. Air-drying is softer on fibers.

• Steam instead of iron. It’s quicker, safer, and just works better.

• Store smart. Use a soft hanger or fold with care.

Your dress does a lot for you. A little love goes a long way.
