Wash & Care Guide
TENCEL®, TENCEL® Blends
(100% TENCEL, or blends with Nylon, Polyester, Denim or Viscose)
- TENCEL Denim and 100% TENCEL Woven fabrics will fade naturally over time—each piece tells its own story.
- TENCEL Linen or TENCEL Cotton retain colours best.
- Always flip inside out.
- Use a garment bag.
- Cold wash or gentle hand wash for delicate items. Since it's anti-bacterial, you really don't have to wash it after every wear—simply air it out for days of light wearing.
- Avoid prolonged sunlight drying to retain softness.
- Hang to dry.
- Use a steam iron if desired.
TENCEL® KNITS
- Do not hang, only lay flat to dry or line dry.
- Do not leave out in direct sunlight.
- Fold to store, do not hang as it will stretch out.
- No ironing needed, but steam iron if desired.
A little note:
We create our pieces to live with you—and we know life gets busy. Whether you're a high-performance individual with a busy schedule, a mother in the newborn trenches, or juggling all the moving parts of household and work, the best way to care for your clothes is the way that is most practical for you. So think of this not as a rulebook, but a gentle guide.
If you don't mind a little character in your clothes as they age, just follow this fuss-free method:
Cold wash, inside out, in a garment bag. Without removing from the bag, tumble dry on a gentle setting with a moderate load. Done.
I was initially skeptical about the ease of breastfeeding and if it’s going to be practical enough since it doesn’t have pockets, so I decided to try it in person at the HI fair and was sold.
The lovely colours seem to flatter most skin tones, it embraces beautifully such that I was asked if it’s tailored, it’s really comfortable and the side slits make it easy to move in. Affirming it passed the breastfeeding test too.
It does hug close to your curves though so choose suitable undergarment.
Further, what made this dress stand out was the team’s proactiveness in reaching out when they realised the front flap could come off after washing. They arranged for pick up and drop off to mend it, while being considerate about when I might need the dress. It’s a testament to how much care goes into every product.
Cart out if you’re thinking about it.
This dress is truly one-of-a-kind: comfortably functional while allowing you to bask in the beauty of a cheongsam; and you’re supporting a group of lovely passionate people behind the brand by doing so!
This was such a special read thank you so much for taking the time to share this very thoughtfully, Inez (especially with those sweet pics too ) We’re really glad you got to try it in person and that it won you over! Hearing that it passed the breastfeeding test and still made you feel good wearing it means a lot to us :)
Your kind words about the team truly mean a lot to us. We are glad we could get it sorted for you in time, and it means a lot that the care came through.
Thank you again for your trust and support to Olive Basics, hope all of our pieces will serve you for long time
