Putting hand wash dresses on delicate wash

[Mcchickenbb41]

I need to wash 2 beautiful little girls monsoon dresses. They have handstiched flowers on so they have hand wash only on the instructions. Would you put these in the machine ?

Put them in a pillow case, tie the top with a hair band and then wash in the machine.

On 30-40' max. I personally would choose cold.

Thanks kp I was thinking cold too. Just need to get one more wedding out of these dresses

Would you still do delicate wash even in a pillow case or opt for a normal. I can do a longer wash no temp on my machine.

The pillowcase protects any decoration on the dresses. Still do a delicates wash at a low temp, or cold. If the machine has a hand wash programme I'd use that. Low spin speed too.

yes, delicate cycle in a pillow case if there are fiddly bits.
tbh if items don't survive a wash then they don't have a place in my house.
dry clean only for children's clothes is just silly.

Thanku everyone trust me blue these are one offs ! I wish they were dry clean. I'm more worried about ironing them.

That's a good idea!

why not hand wash them?

Hi skipped. Whenever I hand wash which is virtually never as we don't normally have anything that delicate I never seem to be able to get the stains out I was also worried about wringing them out too much and affecting the flowers. Iv just got them out of the machine anyway. Put them in separate pillowcases with a colour catcher on delicate cycle with no temp. They look as good as new. Thanks all for advice.
