my liberty range is handmade in tana lawn cotton and each dress is lined with a lightweight cotton

lawn cotton is a fine linen cloth used for clerical garments woven in laon, northern france.  this fine sheer cloth is now woven in cotton and although crisper than voile is not as crisp as organdie.  there are many types of lawn including indian lawn, victoria lawn, persian lawn, egyptian lawn and bishop's lawn.  liberty of london made famous their tana lawn which began manufacture in the 1920s.  tana lawn is named after lake tana in sudan where the raw cotton was grown.  (source, the worshipful company of weavers)

caring for your handmade dresses

or

machine wash at 30C or handwash

warm/medium iron

do not tumble dry

do not bleach

do not dry clean

***

and of course, wash dark colours separately from whites

i'd always recommend using laundry washbags to protect the fabric from damage from fastenings on other items of washing

last but not least, as my mother says, when machine washing hanging out as soon as the cycle finishes means less ironing (and she's always right!)

care instructions for other fabrics can be found on dress labels
