Care & Keeping of Clothing

Wash your clothes less. Get into the habit of wearing your clothes more than once before laundering. This will not only extend the life of your garments but will probably lower your utility bills!
Wear a slip with your garments to keep your garments cleaner longer (in most cases it takes much less water/resources to launder a slip than it does a garment)
Avoid wearing harsh deodorants and opt for natural deodorant when possible.
Pay close attention to the care labels for your garments! Most of the garments we sell recommend hand wash and hang dry and we wholeheartedly agree! If you want to extend the life of your garments, follow the care instructions on the label.
Use cold water to launder your garments, hot water can deconstruct the fibers of your garments more and also can cause shrinkage.
If using a washing machine, only wash full loads of laundry and wash on gentle cycle.
Hang garments to dry (every Adored Vintage girl loves seeing clothes on a line!) Dryers can really be rough on your garments (that lint trap is literally bits of your clothes as it slowly falls apart!)
Spot clean garments immediately
Hand wash your clothing as often as possible using gentle detergent.
Learn simple repair and mend skills to increase the longevity of your garments like sewing buttons, adding hooks and eyes, and reinforcing loose seams.
