Couture Care Guide
Garment Care | Caring for Your Handmade Boutique Pieces
Each piece from Alessandra’s Little Bow Co. is lovingly handmade with special attention to detail. Because our designs are handcrafted, many feature delicate fabrics, embellishments, appliqués, rhinestones, tulle, and specialty details that require gentle care to help preserve their beauty.
With the right care, your little one’s special outfit can continue creating beautiful memories for years to come.
General Care Instructions
✨ Hand Wash Recommended
For best results, we recommend gently hand washing your handmade garment in cold water with a mild detergent.
✨ Do Not Use Bleach
Bleach and harsh chemicals may damage fabrics, colors, embellishments, and decorative details.
✨ Air Dry Only
Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat from dryers, as heat may affect delicate fabrics, appliqués, rhinestones, and specialty materials.
✨ Handle Embellishments With Care
Items featuring rhinestones, pearls, crystals, sequins, appliqués, or other decorative details should be handled gently. Avoid pulling, rubbing, or placing heavy pressure on embellished areas.
Tulle Skirts & Tutu Care
Our handmade tulle skirts and tutu designs are created with layers of soft tulle to achieve their beautiful volume and magical shape.
During shipping and storage, tulle may become compressed. To restore the original fullness:
✨ Gently shake and separate the layers
✨ Use a garment steamer from a safe distance to lightly steam the tulle
✨ Fluff the layers gently with your hands until the desired volume returns
Do not place a hot iron directly on tulle, as it can melt or damage the fabric.
Storage Tips
To keep your handmade piece looking beautiful:
✨ Store in a cool, dry place
✨ Hang dresses and skirts when possible
✨ Keep away from pets, sharp objects, and rough surfaces
✨ Avoid storing while damp
Handmade With Love
Small variations, unique details, and slight differences are part of the charm of handmade designs. Each piece is carefully created just for you and your little one.
