Post How to care for leather dresses

Being fashion conscious is a natural instinct for many women. But one other factor that needs looking into, especially with leather dresses is the extent of maintenance. Those who manage to pull off both aspects together can be said to have it all. Though maintaining leather is considered to be difficult, it in fact is a very simple thing.

Leather is one of the simplest of fabrics that the fashion world owns. It is versatile and needs very little in terms of cleaning measures. That is what endears it to fashionistas. Its other features are that is extremely soft, makes for subtle fashion statements and can be tailored to look really sexy. Leather is that one material that suits all body shapes and sizes and drapes easily over one’s natural body curves. Leather also has a natural sheen to it. There are some simple tips to looking after leather dresses.

Leather dresses require conditioning. This is to maintain their sheen. This has to be done the day you buy your dress. Conditioning your leather dress also keeps it well maintained. Without this, leather loses it moisture content and can get dry. What you will end up with is a dress with unsightly cracks. This is an important way of caring for leather dresses. Doing this once or twice a year is quite enough.

Keeping the dresses moisture free is also an important aspect. While moisture is necessary, too much of it can be destructive as well. Leather therefore has to be kept away from water and any other liquid. If you happen to drop something on your dress, wipe it away immediately with a soft cloth. Polishing your dress is another important maintenance trick. This is best done before heading out for a night out. Steer clear of polish, as well as any cleaning solutions that have greasy bases. Colored polishes too are an absolute no. Before you use the product on the dress, test it in a non-visible place.

Wax should not be used on the dress as it spoils the shape of the dress. Wax prevents the dress from breathing and this can spoil the look of the dress. Extreme temperatures are also harmful to the leather dresses. Stay away from places that are too hot or too cold or even too wet.
