1. Before loading the dress, which is embroidered with beads, crystals or any crystals in the washing machine, it must be carefully inspected for damage to the integrity of the threads with which the beads are attached to the fabric. In the event of tears, the thread must be secured to prevent loss of decor elements. After washing, restore the embroidery, sewing on the vacant places that broke off.
2. To protect rhinestones, stones or other decorations, you can sew a white cloth or gauze on the decorated parts of the outfit. In order to be completely confident in the safety of precious stones, it is better to rebuff them.
3. You should completely turn the inside out of the dress. Thus, the rhinestones during washing will not rub against the hem of the dress, forming arrows on it.
4. Use a cloth cover during washing. If this you do not have, then the white pillowcase is perfect. If you use the latter, it should be sewn.

Important! The cover must not be a mesh. Through the holes of the mesh bag, dress decorations can fall out and damage the washing machine.
