Sequin dresses, shirts, and jackets are made to stand out. After game day, a little extra care helps keep their sparkle looking beautiful for your next event. The most important rule for Sequin Fans garments is simple: HAND WASH ONLY. DO NOT MACHINE WASH.
Hand wash only, never machine wash
Do not put your Sequin Fans dress, shirt, or jacket in the washing machine, even on a delicate cycle. Machine agitation and spinning can snag sequins, stress stitching, and damage the garment's finish. Hand washing is the recommended cleaning method.
How to hand wash your sequin clothing
Gentle hand care helps protect delicate embellishments.
Check the garment's care label and inspect it for loose sequins or delicate trims before cleaning.
Fill a clean basin with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent suitable for the fabric.
Gently move the garment through the water by hand. Focus carefully on areas that need cleaning without rubbing or scrubbing the sequins.
Rinse gently in clean, cold water until the detergent is removed.
Support the garment as you lift it out. Do not twist, wring, or stretch the fabric.
Air dry, never tumble dry
Do not use a tumble dryer. Heat and tumbling can damage embellishments. Carefully remove excess water by pressing with a clean towel, without rubbing, and allow the garment to air dry in a well-ventilated place. Follow the care label for whether it should dry flat or be hung; heavier wet garments may stretch if hung.
Avoid bleach, harsh scrubbing, and direct heat
Bleach and aggressive cleaning products can affect fabric color and decorative finishes. Avoid ironing directly over sequins. If you need to smooth wrinkles, consult the garment's care label first and keep heat away from embellishments.
Store your sparkle carefully
Store clean, dry sequin clothing carefully to prevent snags.
Make sure each piece is completely dry before storing. Keep sequin surfaces from rubbing against delicate fabrics or other embellished garments. A breathable garment bag or careful folding can help prevent snags.
