Whether you’re twirling through summer in a flowy fav or layering up for fall, we’ve got answers to all your dress care questions. From how to wash to keeping colors bright, consider this your go-to guide for keeping your Aerie dresses looking and feeling amazing.


Can I machine wash dresses?

Totally – just keep it gentle! Most dresses are happy in the washing machine if you use a cold, delicate cycle and pop them in a mesh bag. It’s like a dress spa day.


Can I use regular detergent on dresses?

For delicate fabrics, use a gentle or fabric-specific detergent. Regular detergent may be too harsh for silk or lace.


How do I pack my dress for a trip without it getting creased?

Roll it up like a pro – it saves space and avoids wrinkles. When you arrive at your destination, hang it up, smooth it out and let gravity do the work.


How do I remove wrinkles from dresses?

For stubborn wrinkles, a quick steam or a low-heat iron (with a towel in between!) works like a charm. On the go? Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a similar effect.


What’s the best way to store dresses?

To keep your dresses looking their best, hang them on padded or contoured hangers to help preserve their shape. For delicate or heavy dresses, consider using garment bags!


How do I prevent color fading in dresses?

Wash your dress inside out in cold water, skip the high heat and keep out of direct sunlight when drying! Bonus tip: air dry whenever you can – your colors will stay bold and beautiful.
