Would a gold satin and pleated chiffon dress which has bucks fizz split on it – be ruined?
Satin and chiffon are extremely delicate materials that are usually dry-cleaned and some times hand washable. Any stains should not be wetted and wiped. Chiffon in general distorts when wet and far more damage could be done than can be undone once it is wet. The fabric will not return to its original state after it has been stretched or shrunk. Staining and spills are usually treatable through a dry cleaner. Don’t attempt to clean the stain yourself. Remember chiffon stretches and shrinks when wet. It is advisable to clean your garment after every use. Do not allow stains and spills to stay untreated for any great length of time or you will have difficulty in removing them.
