To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Bharatnatyam dance costume, please follow these care instructions:

Dry Cleaning Only: To preserve the fabric, colors, and intricate details, we recommend dry cleaning the costume. Avoid washing it at home, as this may damage the material and embellishments.

Storage: Store the costume in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a garment bag to protect it from dust and moisture.

Handling: Handle the costume with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt to the fabric. Be gentle with the pleats and borders to prevent damage.

Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low-heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the costume to avoid direct heat contact. Focus on the non-embellished areas to prevent any damage to the intricate details.

Stain Removal: For minor stains, gently blot the area with a soft cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain or damage the fabric. Consult a professional cleaner for stubborn stains.

Avoid Chemicals: Keep the costume away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, and deodorants that can cause discoloration or fabric damage.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your Bharatnatyam dance costume remains vibrant and in excellent condition for many performances to come.
