How to Care for Embroidered Pakistani Fabric: A Complete Guide

Hand-embroidered Pakistani suits are an investment piece, and how you care for them determines whether they last for one season or many years. Here's how to protect the fabric, thread work, and embellishments across every material we carry.

General Rules for All Embroidered Fabric

• Always check the care label first — embroidery thread can react differently than the base fabric
• Avoid soaking for long periods; this weakens embroidery stitching over time
• Never wring embroidered fabric — press gently between towels instead
• Store on padded hangers, never folded for long periods, to prevent crease damage to embellished areas

Lawn & Cotton Suits

Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water, inside out, to protect prints and embroidery. Air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. See our Lawn collection for pieces suited to everyday wear.

Chiffon Suits

Dry clean recommended. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild detergent, and never twist the fabric. Chiffon snags easily, so store separately from rougher fabrics or jewelry. Browse our Chiffon collection.

Silk Suits

Always dry clean silk to preserve its sheen and prevent water spotting. Keep away from perfume and deodorant contact, which can stain silk permanently. Explore Silk suits.

Velvet Suits

Dry clean only. Store velvet pieces hanging, never folded, to avoid permanent crush marks in the pile. Steam gently from a distance if wrinkled — never iron directly. See our Velvet collection.

Long-Term Storage Tips

Use breathable garment bags rather than plastic, which traps moisture. Add silica packets to storage areas in humid US climates to prevent mildew on embroidered threadwork.
