Delicate fabrics are the sweet, fragile stars of our wardrobe, and honestly they just need a little kindness to stay beautiful: wash them less and air them out more, use cold water and a gentle detergent, and if you can, hand wash with a soft swirl instead of rubbing or twisting; if you use the machine, pop everything in a mesh bag and choose the delicate cycle, then skip the high spin; never wring them out, just press the water gently with a towel, let them dry away from heat and direct sun, and when they look wrinkled, steam is usually safer than ironing; store them with a bit of space so they don’t get crushed, and always peek at the care label because it’s basically the fabric’s love language
