StorageMastery
How you store your bridal outfit determines its longevity.
Never Hang Heavy Aari Blouses
The weight of embroidery can stretch the fabric and distort the 35-point calibration. Always store flat.
Use Unbleached Cotton or Muslin
Plastic bags trap moisture and cause zari oxidation. Wrap in breathable cotton cloth to prevent discoloration.
Cool, Dry, Dark Location
Avoid sunlight, damp basements, and hot attics. Ideal temperature: 18-22°C (65-72°F).
Acid-Free Tissue Paper
Place between folds to prevent creasing and color transfer between different fabrics.
Pro Tip: The "Sandwich Method"
Layer: Muslin cloth → Acid-free tissue → Garment → Tissue → Muslin. Store flat in a breathable garment box.
CleaningProtocol
Protect your intricate embroidery with the right cleaning methods.
Strictly Dry Clean Only
Never machine wash or hand wash. Find a dry cleaner experienced with bridal wear and Aari work.
Air After Every Wear
Before storing, air your outfit for 2-4 hours to allow moisture from body heat to evaporate.
No Direct Perfume or Deodorant
Spray perfume before wearing, not after. Alcohol-based products can tarnish zari and loosen stones.
Spot Cleaning for Small Stains
Use a soft, slightly damp white cloth to dab (not rub) the stain. Never use colored cloths.
⚠️ NEVER Do This
- ✗ Machine wash or hand wash
- ✗ Use bleach or harsh chemicals
- ✗ Iron directly on embroidery
- ✗ Leave in plastic dry cleaning bags
- ✗ Store while still damp
