Care Instructions

For Taj Fashion Handcrafted Bridal & Couture Garments
Last Updated: November 2025

Each Taj Fashion creation is a work of art — handcrafted by master artisans using intricate embroidery, fine fabrics, and couture finishing.
Proper care ensures your garment remains as timeless and exquisite as the day it was made.

Please follow these care guidelines carefully to preserve the beauty, texture, and longevity of your couture piece.

1. DRY CLEAN ONLY

  • All Taj Fashion outfits must be dry-cleaned only by a professional dry cleaner experienced with couture garments.

  • Never machine wash, hand wash, or soak any part of your outfit.

  • Professional dry cleaning ensures the preservation of delicate fabrics, metallic threads, sequins, zardozi, and embroidery work.

  • Inform your cleaner about special embellishments, beads, or stones before cleaning.

2. STORAGE

  • Store garments in breathable cotton or muslin garment bags to allow airflow.

  • Avoid plastic covers, as they can trap moisture and cause fabric discoloration or mildew.

  • Keep your garment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, or humidity.

  • Use padded or broad hangers for heavy garments to maintain shape and prevent stretching.

  • For heavily embellished lehengas or anarkalis, store flat or folded with acid-free tissue paper between layers.

3. HANDLING

  • Always handle with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or makeup residue onto delicate fabrics.

  • Remove jewelry, bangles, or sharp accessories before wearing to prevent accidental snags.

  • Apply perfume, deodorant, and makeup before dressing to protect embroidery and fabric from stains.

  • When dressing or undressing, avoid pulling or tugging on embroidered sections — seek assistance for heavy bridal pieces.

4. EMBROIDERY & EMBELLISHMENTS

  • Taj Fashion couture often features handcrafted zardozi, sequin, and threadwork embroidery — treat these areas gently.

  • Avoid friction or rough handling that could loosen embellishments.

  • Do not iron directly over embroidered, sequined, or stonework areas.

  • If pressing is required, use a low-heat setting and place a cotton cloth as a barrier between the iron and the fabric.

  • For heavy embroidery, use steam only from a safe distance to avoid moisture damage.

5. FABRIC-SPECIFIC CARE

Each luxury fabric demands unique handling and preservation:

  • Silk: Extremely delicate — avoid excessive handling or exposure to perfume and sunlight.

  • Brocade: Avoid folding repeatedly; hang carefully to prevent creases and fabric weakening.

  • Velvet: Store flat or on a broad hanger — never fold, as creases may become permanent.

  • Net / Tulle: Handle gently; these fabrics are prone to tearing and stretching. Store separately to avoid entanglement with embroidery.

6. LONG-TERM PRESERVATION

For bridal or heirloom pieces, professional preservation is strongly recommended.

  • Ensure garments are completely dry before storage to prevent mold or discoloration.

  • Store in acid-free tissue paper or muslin cloth for extended preservation.

  • Avoid exposure to humidity, sunlight, or heat sources.

  • Periodically air out the garment in a shaded, cool area to maintain freshness.

  • Never apply starch, chemical sprays, or fabric refreshers on couture garments.

7. IMMEDIATE STAIN TREATMENT

Accidents can happen — handle stains with care.

  • Gently blot the affected area using a clean, white cloth — never rub, as this can spread or set the stain.

  • Avoid using water, detergent, or home remedies.

  • Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner as soon as possible, informing them about the fabric and embellishments.

8. WARRANTY & RESPONSIBILITY

  • Taj Fashion is not responsible for damage resulting from improper care, cleaning, or storage methods.

  • Following these guidelines will help maintain your garment’s original craftsmanship, color, and structure.

  • Proper care is essential to preserve the value, artistry, and longevity of your couture investment.
