Caring for delicate clothing is something that requires hands on and should not be delegated to the help or a laundry service, in either case, the risk of mishandling, damaging or otherwise deteriorating the garment is elevated and high quality garments can easily go over $200.
According to the color of the garment, the care could differ in terms of water temperature, drying, and even soap using. But this is exacerbated in the case of knitwear, since washing it in the washing machine with the rest of the laundry can cause the fabric to harden, get too loose or even create small balls of thread.
In the case of skirts, caring for them can be easier since they require a small space to be hand washed and laid down flat to dry; preferably in a shaded place where the sun does not fall directly on the garment, preventing damage to the thread and knit. In the case of dresses, caring for the garment should be done in the same manner.
Storing these garments must never be done hanging, the fabric will loosen and it will ruin the fall and presence of the piece; the right way to storage a garment is by folding it and keeping it in a dry, dark place. Humidity traps work great to prevent the formation of pests and the ruining of the garment.
