How do I care for the christening outfits?
Caring for christening outfits is essential to preserve their beauty and ensure they remain in excellent condition for generations.
First and foremost, it is important to check the care label attached to the outfit for specific washing instructions. Many heirloom garments can be hand washed in cold water using a gentle detergent. If the outfit has intricate embellishments or is particularly delicate, it may be best to spot clean with a damp cloth instead of full immersion. After cleaning, it should be laid flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
When it comes to storing the outfit, opt for a breathable garment bag or cotton storage box. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and cause mildew or yellowing. Additionally, it is advisable to keep the outfit in a cool, dry place away from humidity. Occasionally checking the garment for any signs of wear or damage can help ensure it remains a cherished keepsake.
