Aftercare
We encourage you to follow this set of guidelines in order to preserve your product’s design. Please be aware, like most clothing items with prints, fabric paints, and embellishments, our garment’s designs are susceptible to natural wear. Looking after your item correctly will ensure the longevity of the design and may, in some cases, delay the natural wear process.
Sizing Due to the large variety of garments on this site, there is not a universal sizing chart. Where able, artist has included measurements to assist in getting the fit you desire. Many pieces were made where the size on the garment tag says extra large, however, the item is much smaller.
IMPORTANT
Specific aftercare may apply to different garments – please make sure to check product descriptions for any unique instructions.
If you are unsure about how to clean your product please contact me.
Washing Instructions
Most designs can be easily washed! We recommend a cold hand wash with mild detergent if the garment needs to be washed frequently. Some garments can be machine washed (check product description). Turn the garment inside out and wash alone on a cold gentle cycle. Repetitive machine washes may impact the longevity of the design. To preserve design integrity, we recommend machine washes only every 4-6 months if necessary. Most things can be spot cleaned. Never take your hand painted clothing to the dry cleaner.
Drying
All products are to be line dried out of direct sunlight. Do not put them in your dryer.
Ironing
Do not directly iron painted areas. If necessary, ironing is possible on the inside of the garment. If needed, you can iron the painted side, as long as you use a cloth covering the actual painted art. Use low to medium heat for all garments.
Storage
All garments are best stored hanging up. Do not fold garments. This may cause the design to crack, even though the fabric paint is pretty flexible.
