Maintenance Tips

Care Instructions by Fabric Type
To maintain the luxurious look and feel of your Qipao, it’s important to follow the appropriate care instructions based on the fabric used. Below are our fabric-specific washing and care guidelines:

Silk (桑蚕丝)

Silk is a delicate and luxurious fabric that requires extra care:

· Dry Clean Only: Always dry clean silk Qipaos to preserve their delicate texture and prevent shrinkage.

· Avoid Moisture: Keep silk away from water or moisture, as this can cause staining or warping.

· Iron on Low Heat: If ironing is needed, always use a low heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the silk to prevent direct contact with heat.

Satin (缎面)

Satin has a smooth, glossy finish and should be treated with care:

· Dry Clean: Satin Qipaos should be professionally dry cleaned to maintain their shine and smooth texture.

· Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store satin Qipaos away from direct sunlight, as this can cause fading and damage to the fabric.

· Handle Gently: Satin can be prone to scratches, so avoid rough surfaces or sharp objects.

Brocade (锦缎)

Brocade fabrics are often embellished with intricate patterns and embroidery, making them a more formal fabric:

· Dry Clean Only: Brocade Qipaos should be dry cleaned to protect the intricate designs and prevent damage to the fabric.

· No Machine Washing: Never machine wash brocade fabrics, as the textures and embellishments could be damaged.

· Gentle Handling: When storing brocade Qipaos, use a padded hanger and keep them in a dust bag to protect the fabric from environmental elements.

Cotton & Linen (棉麻)

Cotton and linen are more durable and easier to care for but should still be treated with care:

· Hand Wash or Machine Wash (Gentle Cycle): You can hand wash or use a delicate machine wash cycle in cold water.

· Avoid Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners can break down the fibers in cotton and linen, so avoid using them.

· Air Dry: Always air dry cotton and linen Qipaos by hanging them to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Velvet (天鹅绒)

Velvet is a rich and luxurious fabric often used for evening wear:

· Dry Clean Only: Always dry clean velvet to maintain its rich texture and prevent any fiber loss.

· Avoid Moisture: Velvet can absorb water, which can damage the pile and cause discoloration, so never wash it with water.

· Storage: Store velvet Qipaos in a cool, dry place, and avoid placing heavy items on top of them, as this can crush the fabric’s texture.

General Care Tips

· Storage: Always hang your Qipao on a padded hanger to preserve its shape. If you need to fold it for storage, do so gently to avoid creating permanent creases.

· Avoid Fragrance: When wearing your Qipao, avoid direct contact with perfumes, oils, or heavy makeup, as these can stain delicate fabrics.

· Use a Garment Bag: When traveling, use a garment bag to protect your Qipao from dust, dirt, and damage.

By following these care instructions, your Qipao will retain its beauty and elegance for many years to come. If you’re ever unsure about the right care for your specific fabric, feel free to contact us for personalized advice.
