Wearing the Christina today (although I realize in this picture, I am looking might hippy :shame: )

here's what I do

I wash it on a gentle cycle and hang to dry - I make sure that I take them out of the washing machine the minute the machine has finished.

I then gently pull the length a bit once on the hanger.

To be honest, I don't know what my housekeeper is doing afterwards with my dresses :p I guess, she gives them a gentle press/steam with the steam iron.

Sometimes, when she's not in, I wash and wear my dresses without even steaming them. ;)

Just be careful with the washing detergent - I make sure to use only a little bit of it and I always throw in a couple of color catching sheets. And I only wash with 20 degrees celsius (not 30 as the silk program would automatically suggest)

To be honest, some of my darker colored dresses started to slightly fade (but only after repeated washes - like 10-15). But on the other side, I guess this could also be the case with repeated dry cleaning....

hope this helps :smile1:

I am curious, as I would prefer to hand wash my DVF, on the remainder of your process. :smile1: Do you lay flat, or hang to dry? Do you iron (what temp) or steam out any wrinkles?

hey, ms Hippy

this is quite a change from the usual dress - but you do rock this special dress very well! I have both patterns as wrap dresses :p

Yes, the Christina isn't really a sheath or a wrap dress, but I like it. I guess sometimes you have to step outside of the box, right? ;)

You're too sweet meg. It's actually the angle of the spoon putting Raspberry sorbet in my mouth too many nights! :p

Thank you, dear! I feel like the lines on this dress accentuate the widest part of my hips, but who cares, I like this dress too much to stop wearing it. :cutesy:

Well for me it is also the chocolate croissants and a cheeseburger or two. Not worrying about it too much until the 1st. Just want to enjoy the holidays. Then back to Caloriecount, oatmeal, carrots, whole grain pasta, fish and veggies. Gotta say fries sound better :roflmfao:. We can diet together.
