Ever-Pretty's Laundry Symbols Guide
The laundry symbol labels on your prized Ever-Pretty dresses are trying to tell you something, and we are here to help you make sense of what they're saying. Simply put, product care instructions are made up of two parts: symbols and codes.
The laundry symbols stand for wash (the tub), bleach (the triangle), tumble dry (the square with a circle inside), iron and dry clean (the circle with a P inside). Once you take a mental note of these five symbols, you're on your way to understanding how to give your dresses the TLC they need. With these symbols, come codes that tell you whether or not you should wash, bleach, hand wash, tumble dry, iron and dry clean your clothes and at what level or intensity. The codes and symbols stand for suggestions like "tumble dry low," "wash in warm water on permanent press cycle" or "do not iron." For example, if an Ever-Pretty chiffon dress like the One Shoulder Lace Chiffon Long Party Dress is part of your wardrobe, then the laundry symbols will probably lead you to gentle care methods to take care of the delicate fabric.
You may want to keep the following tips in mind when trying to read the laundry symbols on some of your favorite pieces:
- When you see an "X" over any of the symbols, this means, "do not" bleach, iron, machine wash, dry clean or tumble dry your dress.
- The dots on the laundry symbols refer to heat and how much heat you should use when washing your garments. The more dots you see, the more heat can be applied. For wash symbols you may also see a specific temperature, which represents the maximum temperature for washing that garment.
- Bars refer to how delicate you need to be when washing your clothing. More bars mean your dresses need more gentle treatment.
