Boa Care Instructions

To keep your boa looking its best, please follow these steps:

1. Remove the boa from the dress before washing. If it is removable.

2. Hand wash the boa separately in cold water with a mild detergent.

3. Do not wring or twist the boa after washing. This can damage the fibers.

4. Gently press out water by wrapping the boa in a clean towel and pressing lightly.

5. Dry immediately with a hairdryer on a low or cool setting. Fluff the boa gently as you dry to restore its volume and softness.

Following these steps will help preserve your boa's fluffiness and shape.

Your ballroom costume is a work of art—and it deserves the same grace and care you bring to the dance floor. +

Absolutely NO Machine
Washing
Ballroom costumes are often made with delicate fabrics, rhinestones, lace, or appliqués that can be easily damaged in a washing machine. Always avoid machine cycles, no matter how gentle.

* Hand Wash with Care Use cold or lukewarm water and gently hand wash your costume.
Swish it lightly-never rub or scrub. This helps preserve the fabric, structure, and embellishment*

Use a Mild Detergent
Opt for a gentle detergent specifically made for delicate garments. Harsh chemicals or bleach can harm both the fabric and decorative elements.
Do Not Wring or Twist
After washing, press the water out gently using a soft towel. Wringing can ruin the shape and damage sewn-on decorations.

Lay Flat to Dry Air-dry the costume flat, away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid hanging heavy, wet costumes as this can stretch the fabric or distort the fit.

Bonus Tip: For costumes with heavy embellishment or structure (like built-in bodices), spot cleaning or consulting a professional costume cleaner is often the safest option.
With proper care, your costume will stay stage-ready and sparkling-just like your performance!

Why You Should Wash Your Costume After Every Tournament

After the excitement of a tournament, it's tempting to hang up your costume and deal with it later. But taking a few extra minutes to properly clean it right away can make a huge difference in preserving its sparkle and structure.

Dirt is easiest to remove when it's fresh. Sweat, makeup, dust, and grime can settle into the fabric and seams if left too long, making stains harder to clean later. More importantly, if your costume is decorated with rhinestones, sequins, or specialty trims, waiting to wash can actually cause damage.
Here's why: over time, sweat and debris can corrode the glue that holds rhinestones in place. The backing of the stones can break down, leaving you with dull or missing embellishments — and a costume that doesn't shine like it used to.

To keep your costume
performance-ready and looking brand new, make it a habit to gently hand wash or spot clean after every tournament. Use a mild detergent, cold water, and lay it flat to dry. Your future self (and your costume budget) will thank you.
