I don't know about you, but I hate doing laundry! Especially, when I have a new item and I'm not exactly sure how it should be washed. I hate shrinking clothes or ruining them in the wash.... i'm just not that good at laundry! So, I wanted to share the best way that I've found to wash your pillow case dress.
I bought a sweater/lingerie laundry bag from Wal-Mart. It's a mesh zipper bag found in the laundry aisle. The dress easily fits inside, and the bag zips closed. Then, I simply wash it with like colors on cold water (I wash everything on cold water!) in the gentle cycle. You can either lay flat to dry or you can go ahead and throw it in the dryer; make sure it is still in the mesh laundry bag! I do not remove the ribbons on the dress, and they manage to stay in place. I have found that the pillow case dresses do have to be ironed! I simply use a warm iron on a cotton setting.
If, for some reason, the ribbon does fall out when the dress is washed. Simply, add a safety pin onto one end of the ribbon, and push it through the hem at the top. If your ribbon gets snagged a bit from the safety pin, snip it off, and then quickly run a lighter across the edge of the ribbon. This heat seals the ribbon and helps to prevent fraying!
Happy Laundry day!
