As this dress is handmade, some variations may exist which add to its uniqueness and character.
- 100% handloom cotton outer
- 100% cotton lining
- Functional hidden pockets
- Machine wash & dry or line dry, warm iron
Wash and Care
Swahlee prewashes and machine dry all cotton fabric before cutting and sewing in order to pre-shrink.
Dresses should always be washed with like colors.
Cotton dresses can be machine washed and machine dried. However, as with all garments, line drying your dress, rather than tumble-drying, will increase its lifespan, as it is gentler on the fibers. Line drying is also better for our planet by reducing CO2 emissions. Colored clothing should be dried in the shade to prevent fading.
A warm iron may be necessary to remove wrinkles.
Line drying results in less wrinkles on our 100% handloom cotton dresses than tumble drying.
