Care Instructions

My long swirling skirts myriad of fabrics, applique and lace Something chaotic in essence Though the designer cut it all just right So they are beautiful I find them in charity shops Like new Purchased but 'too much' in the end So given away To my delight For I am synonymous with ethereal apparel I of course ignore the washing instructions If it's meant to be it will survive the machine I've acquired some new ones But I feel inclined to be more gentle with them This time around They are so delicate and I can be so cruel Perhaps a little care is not too much to give For the outside as well as the inside

It depends on how much you like what you wear. A gentle wash, sans the spin that leaves the fabric wrinkled seems to work best for me. And a big 'no no' to putting it through the torture of tumbling in the heat of a dryer.

I'm a chancer for most things Lin, I pretty much cook everything on the same heat (full) for the same amount of time, don't do any delicate washes and fly into things without reading the instructions - these new clothes are very pretty though and I'm tempted to change my ways. Thanks for your comment x
