Cotton Care: Keep It Soft, Wear It Longer

Cotton dresses — everyday wash

Turn the cotton midi inside out, mild detergent, cold or thirty-degree cycle. Do not bleach prints. Line dry in shade so florals do not fade.

Follow the care label on that SKU. A cotton dress is not a Kota saree.

Iron on the reverse

Warm iron on the inside. Prints and checks stay sharper than if you press the face until it shines.

Kota and gota — different rules

Gota, zari and heavy embroidery: hand wash or dry clean. No machine, no bleach. Iron on the reverse only.

If you treat a Kota gota saree like a cotton midi, the ribbon work lifts.
