There is nothing quite like the feeling of stepping out in a crisp, newly stitched printed lawn suit. The colors are vibrant, the fabric is soft, and the fit is perfect. However, surviving the peak summer heat means frequent washing, which can quickly take a toll on your favorite outfits if they aren't cared for properly.
At Sadeez, we use premium, color-fast dyes and high-quality woven lawn, but even the best fabrics need a little TLC (Tender Loving Care). Here is your ultimate guide to maintaining the crispness and vibrancy of your lawn suits season after season.
1. The Pre-Shrink Ritual (For Unstitched Lawn)
If you are buying from our Unstitched Collection, this is the most crucial step. Cotton and lawn fabrics have a natural tendency to shrink slightly after their first encounter with water.
-
How to do it: Soak your unstitched shirt, trouser, and dupatta separately in cold water for 2 to 3 hours before giving them to the tailor. This ensures the fabric shrinks to its final state, guaranteeing that your carefully measured shoulder and armhole cuts remain perfect even after future washes.
2. Gentle Washing is Key
Always treat your printed lawn with a gentle touch. Harsh chemicals can strip the fabric of its natural softness and vibrant dyes.
-
Cold Water Only: Always use cold or lukewarm water. Hot water causes colors to bleed and weakens the fabric fibers.
-
Mild Detergent: Opt for a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid using bleach or heavy stain removers directly on the printed areas.
-
Hand Wash vs. Machine Wash: Hand washing is always the safest route. If you must use a washing machine, turn the clothes inside out and use the "Delicate" or "Hand Wash" cycle.
3. Dry in the Shade
The summer sun is the biggest enemy of bright, beautiful prints. Direct sunlight acts as a natural bleaching agent and will fade your gorgeous floral and geometric prints in a matter of hours.
-
The Right Way: Always dry your lawn suits inside out in a shaded, well-ventilated area. If you are hanging them on a clothesline, ensure they are flipped inside out so the sun only hits the reverse side of the fabric.
4. Ironing for that Crisp Finish
A beautifully ironed lawn suit instantly looks expensive and well-put-together.
-
Temperature Matters: Set your iron to the "Cotton" or "Medium-High" setting.
-
Inside Out: Iron your clothes inside out, especially if there is any gold pasting, foil print, or intricate embroidery. Spraying a little water or using a steam iron will help remove stubborn wrinkles effortlessly.
