How to Take Care of Your Luxury Pret to Make It Last Longer

There's something about owning a luxury pret dress for women that instils in you the feeling of being in an upper-level sort of an inscape irrespective of the rich fabrics or the intricate embellishments or the feeling of being on the reds at a mehndi. Sadly, as with all good acquisitions (cue the designer Joras), it needs to be carefully maintained.

You know what, ladies? Your luxury pret might be breath, but my advice is do not pull it out of your closet when playing backyard barbeque. So let us get cracking into them and not be most adored by you people; let's have a little humour because, sorry, no, I don't have joy in discussing fashion care.

The Importance of Luxury Pret in Pakistani Fashion

Luxury pret is a dominant and intrinsic part of Pakistani fashion  you cannot miss it- it is that in between casual and couture. No, it is not a shalwar kameez that you can wear every day, but again, it is not a bridal couture-level drama, either. Luxury pret is something most semi-formal and without degrees of exaggeration, with Embellished necklines, posh pulling embroidery and tissues doing the talking style. Jeem is a brand that has perfected luxury prets, women's festive dresses and it's almost like a rite of passage to have one in your closet.

Understanding Your Luxury Pret

Located somewhere between couture and casual, it is your ready-to-wear saviour for various wedding and family gatherings, including those regrettable last-minute invitations. It is one step above going out in your pyjamas but not saying, ‘I'm Here to take the attention from the bride.’ Fabrics are affordable but acceptable chiffon silk organza and the adornments? Well, they will make you royal (not that to an engagement of your cousin, though.)

Fabric Matters!

Let one thing be straight, all fabrics are not the same. The fabric of the suit can be referred to as a very important part of the skincare routine. It determines how it is cleaned and how it is stored. Pakistani luxury pret has some light sheer fabrics such as:

Chiffon

Contains textures which are light, frilly and easy to wear but, on the downside, can get easily caught on things such as curtains. Its elegance and delicacy are to die for like this Mia Mint Green dress.

Silk

Sheeny, looks expensive but not very tolerant even on slightly visible stains. Pure silk is expensive and is hard to find in local areas.

Organza

It helps in creating volume but fades faster than a wedding card in a second.
Understanding the fabric is equivalent to knowing how to handle your dress, its qualities and all.

The Do's and Don'ts of Take Care

Do Read the Care Label as if your life depended on it: this is the most boring chore of all, but you are obviously guilty of it too. As we have done it at least once removing that annoying sticker from ready to wear dress without even taking the time to read it. In the case of your luxury pret, there is no outfit care label for nothing.

You want to bake a cake; you wouldn't want to take chances and guess how to go about it, would you? Care labels will tell you everything from whether the outfit can handle a washing machine to if it needs to be sent for dry cleaning. Believe it, last count, it worked for you.

Store with Intelligence

Ever opened your wardrobe and been shocked at how a perfectly sharp suit you kept is way up head looking scruffy as a tissue? The reason for that is that based on the types of fabrics, different methods of storage are used.

Chiffon and silk

They should be hung but spaced apart a bit. This means your jora has to be adequately disjointed from your husband sherwani; they do not need to get cosy.

Embellished Fabrics

These fabrics should be aimed towards bits in the manufacturer to avoid making the fabric loose. No one wants their outfit to be bulged out due to misplaced patterns. Especially ones that are heavily embellished like Blue Bridal.
And for your sake, say that plastic bags are for criminals who should be punished! ThThat'so a way to treat the poor pret!

Prevent Yourself from Falling into the Washing Machine Trap

Oh, the washing machine! What a two-headed sword. It is the best friend to casual cotton lawn but the sworn enemy to luxury pret. This action can also make the finer fibres impossible to fawn as they turn into ugly lumps with loose threads. I assure you, any other designer will be better able than your current alter to accommodate your undone waist cincher for a toddler. Otherwise, wash it down by hand, or, if you feel too much, dry it.

Response on Stains as They Are the Worst Enemy to Your Outfit

You are at a wedding and eating a seekh kebab when the time bomb goes off. Spicy chutney spills on your silk kurta. Do not panic; do not open Facebook. This is, in fact, the time to put the phone down and spring into action.

• Quick Fix: Use cold water and place a cotton cloth over the stain to taper off the stain.
• Long-Term Fix: First things first, take it to the dry-cleaning services in less than twenty-four hours. Put it off; do it tomorrow, and then you will carry a thing which no one will hide under the bed.
• Pro-tip: Always: make it a habit to put a mini stain-removal pen in your clutch. You don't know. Biryani has its plans.

How to Take Care of Your Luxury Pret

Irons are for enemies, and putting one on your luxury pret and sharing it well is like using a blow dryer and a heat sealant towards your tresses- way too risky. West, especially for organza and silk, I find iron to do more violence than good. A steamer, on the other hand, is your best friend.

• Quick Tip: While showering, hang your outfit inside the bathroom. The steam will effortlessly get rid of little wrinkles in the fabric (and guess what, you are getting two things done at the same time!)
• Freshen Up: Your luxury pret may look fabulous, but after one evening of dancing, eating, and networking with a bazillion “s" and season ""selfies, it is likely to lose its fabulous smell. Here is how to get rid of that repulsing smell without cleaning it:
• Airing It Out: Put your outfit on a garment rack and leave it in a non-stagnant room.
• Spritzing: For better results with minimal wetness, light mist, either fabric mist or diluted rose water.

Seasonal Care Tips

How can you adjust the Luxury Pret to suit every season? You cannot, one can wear certain fabrics in all seasons but some fabrics are specific for one season. Shawls for women on the other hand can be worn and styled in most of the seasons.

Summer Care

Pakistani summers are harsh for your clothes, especially your summer wear. Storing mesh fabrics like lawn or chiffon can be quite good, provided they are kept in dark, cool places, avoiding direct sunlight. Summer heat dulls the colours in a flash, faster than people get fever.

Winter Care

Befittingly, this is the time when your luxury pret needs that bit more love during the winter. For velvet and silks, humidity is the enemy, so don't use them near bathroom doors because of the steam. Every time, place your heavier dresses in breathable garment bags so that they do not get ruined.

Fun Tip

Do not wear your summer lawn in the winter dholki; you will be frostbitten- unless, of course, that is what you fancy.

Conclusion

Your luxury pret, like every other relationship, should be treated with exactly that. It is demanding, time consuming and may even need you to fish out an errant droplet of curry out there. Unless unfashionably thrown in hibernation, your luxury pret would keep appearing at weddings, parties and even during mundane grocery runs (in which there is no judgement).

Thus, the next time you put on that Sana Safinaz magic, please bear this in mind: love it properly, and it will reciprocate your sentiments. Everyone loves wearing new clothes, but no one wants to buy an outfit that parathas at a buffet!
