Caring for Shailie Products
Now that you have bought your amazing Shailie dress form and dress kits, here are some simple tips for keeping everything runway ready.
- ALWAYS store dress pieces and accessories on your Shailie Closet
- When removing pieces from your base skirt & top, always hold onto the velcro, not the fabric to avoid fabric ripping.
- If a spill happens on your fabrics, hand wash them and hang to dry. Due to the amount of Velcro used in our dresses, throwing them in the washing machine will cause the velcro to hook & snag your lovely dress pieces, so take care of them and wash them in the sink.
- My daughter designed her own Shailie dress for Halloween this year and wore it trick or treating with no problems. If you are going to wear it out & about, please make sure your velcro is secured for all your pieces so you don’t loose any!
- Your dress form. Adjust your form a little smaller than your own height to make designing a cinch.
- When moving your dress form, don’t carry it by the pole, it could slide out of the base and crack the wood. Have an adult hold the form, and base at the same time to move it around, or remove the f0rm off the pole, and carry the base and pole to your desired location.
We have chosen the highest quality fabrics for your Shailie dresses, and they are designed to last if they are cared for properly. Shailie is recommended for girls 6+.
Below is an example of a Shailie Closet (a closet is included with the Shailie Starter kit), and how it works. You can fit several dresses on a closet, simply press to attach pieces to the closet and – voila!
