Historical speaking prior to Marie Antoinette popularizing bathing, people just perfumed themselves and changed their shirts throughout the day. Basically to flex on how many shirts they owned. However when they did start bathing in Versailles, they always bathed in their undergarments. So Marie was quite literally washing herself and her clothes.

I wear vintage and I always wash my clothes after 1-3 washes for dresses (depending on the fabric and construction as sleeveless sundresses tend not to get so sweaty) and every 3-6 wears for skirts. You automatically have to wash it if you spill anything that stains/smells on it. The only time I've not washed super frequently was in theatre when doing a show, and we'd use sweat covers (or the cheap option of pantyliners) to make the blouses last longer with little to no sweat staining.

Also as a costumer, if your dress doesn't have stains, doesn't have a prominent smell, and the stank is mainly in the pit area. I recommend 4 parts water and 1 part vodka, spray it on both sides of the pits, and let it rest overnight/24 hours.(This also works on dry cleaner only dresses) THIS IS ONLY IF THE STANK IS THE PITS, IT IS NOT AN ALTERNATIVE TO CLEANING THE DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

@emjenkins464

And for dresses/blouses/undergarments with sleeves you can see on removable/replaceable sweat covers that can be washed instead of the whole dress. A quick fix for a heatwave is using pantyliners in the pits to catch sweat

Two comments: 1) Spot treat for stains (carefully) using a cotton bud and some soap with a white cloth behind. Dawn dish detergent in a teeny tiny amount plus some water can be highly effective. And repurposed cloth baby diapers are awesome for backing cloth (absorbent & white). 2) if you are a messy eater, USE AN APRON. I learned this the hard way when my oldest daughter sprayed soy ramen all over her AP Marshmallow Bunny OP. 😫 Gah! She now carries an apron in her purse (easy to clean and appropriate for the aesthetic). Vintage hostess aprons made of cotton and lace are perfect, and you can often find them at Goodwill or in Grandma’s closet.

One warning about the color catchers, depending on your washer they can get stuck in the drain and clog the washer to the point it won't clean properly. If I use more than one I'll put the other one in a small delicates bag. It still works and it saves the washer from being clogged

I would still highly suggest taking out the corset ribbon on the back. This can easily come untied and kind of strangle/wrap around parts of the dress if your washer isn't super gentle in the wash/spin cycles. I've been ignoring laundry tags since day 1, but I'm still as careful as possible!

i also love that she's wearing a dress with a peplum, because it kinda reminds me of an apron. tyler out here lookin like the kawaii laundress she is

something that can also help speed up the drying of the dress ( without damage) is to use dehumidification. it is much more gentle on the fabric than using heat, but will shorten the drying time loads. I live in a cold/ damp region so air drying is sometimes a loosing battle. dehumidification can help it to get dry before it starts to smell manky.

Another tip for clothes in general is to wear good quality linen/cotton under shirts+slips. This keeps your skin off the fabric, and it's actually the way historically people kept their clothing clean. You wash the underthings often and the actual clothing far less often (essentially like you treat coats/jackets). In this way dry cleaning also becomes much more affordable if you can wear a piece a dozen times before it needs cleaning.

I once bought a Btssb JSK that arrived fully covered in yellow stains (that the seller didn't mention). There were some in the armpit area, on the collar and small stains all over it D: I thought it would be helpless to try to wash it but it all came of SO QUICK after simply putting it in water... I really wonder to this day what the seller was thinking. And why she never washed it once D':

Thanks so much! Once again your're like the cool big sis we all need to teach us the shit nobody thinks about.

As someone who is planning to get into the Lolita fashion after 5 years of taking an interest, I'm glad I saw this. Because when I see a really pretty dress sometimes I get intimidated because how do I get it cleaned if I was in it after a long day or if I got a stain and I can't get it dry cleaned. So again, thanks for this video.

Wish I could send this to the person who sold me a Putumayo set with unlisted armpit stains, I hand washed it and used an absolute heck ton of oxiclean...the water was grey when I was done, the whites were so much whiter...I don’t think it had ever been cleaned....*shakes head in disappointment*

Thank you for being a refuge of happiness and CLEANLINESS right now!

I own a few velvet dresses for years and although not lolita all of them get the same treatment and have come out of a washer with agitator just fine. How I've done it is to use a fabric laundry bag that cinches up with stoppers instead of a zipper. I still turn all inside out even if they're in the bag. Cold water and gentle cycle using woolite black. I've only been able to put two dresses at time in the bag but that depends on what is on it even inside out. Anything with glitter is always by itself in the bag as it's not mesh and will contain the possible glitter bomb. After the wash with anything velvet you will have to hang it up and make sure it's on the shoulder seams and not carelessly uneven. Do not flat dry velvet as it will crush the velvet's pile. However, after you hang it and with velvet do not try to hang it over the bottom part of a hanger even if it is long it will leave a crease and hardly anyone has the needle brush like tool handy to press velvet. To combat creasing in velvet at home you must steam it while wet right out of the wash after hanging. Steaming while dry even with spritzing has not been that effective with velvet and you won't be as happy with the results. I have used the laundry bag trick with knits as well to stop stretching and other clothes with questionable permanent decoration instead of mesh. This has worked with many Gothic and non Gothic clothes that say dry clean only and chances are if it says that it never goes in the dryer. I hope this helps.

@enslavedvessel

4 жыл бұрын

Forgot to mention to do the seaming while the dress is still inside out. Also, if you can't get a hold of a steamer you will still have to hang it up right away out of the wash but then make sure to smooth it out while still wet, unfold anything that shouldn't be and reshape where needed. It will dry however you leave it and will be more difficult to fix if you don't properly take care which may lead to starting over in a rinse cycle to reshape as desired. Unnecessary frustration avoided if you just do it right away since this is what you signed up for when you like anything that needs more care than tossing in the wash and straight to the dryer after.

I've washed an AP skirt (Chess Chocolate) in a top load washer, put it a pillowcase, used Tide, and everything was fine. Nothing faded and I didn't have any issues.

Don't even own lolita (yet) .... and I feel compelled to wash my dirty clothes.

I feel like being a tailor and making my own clothing is a plus in this situation. I can make sure everything is either detachable or durable enough without lossing the cute.

I love the juxtaposition of the cute relaxing piano music and the salt with the casual insults.

Really good advice! Another tip from historical costuming wear a 100% cotton or very light modal or rayon blend chemise (light dress, oversized tshirt) as your base layer before putting on your blouse, petticoat and dress. It absorbs the sweat and will prevent you from having to wash your dress too many times. You will likely still need to wash your blouses especially if you sweat in them. Also, polyester dresses are more durable and can take more wear so there's less of a need to be super delicate with them. I'd still turn them inside out, put in a delicates bag and wash in cold on delicate cycle. You can dry on low with polyester but better to air dry if you can. With cotton, silk or any knit, I 100% would follow the recommendations Tyler has laid out. Modern washing and especially drying machines were just not meant for natural fibers.

I love my daily dosage of salt in the afternoon

Tyler gives of tsundere vibes

The mud setting is for Momoko from Kamikaze Girls 😂😂😂

Dryel is my favorite home dry cleaning. I use a delicates bag for it in a drier. I also use Woolite darks for darker dresses/blouses or Woolite delicates for lighter dresses/blouses in delicates bags. For the dresses that need dry cleaning, I use one of those clothes steamer and instead of water, I use the dry clean spray solution (from the Dryel). Accessories are usually handwashed with Castile soap. Edit: SOAK Unscented detergent wash is also great for washable dresses

I just want to mention that I bought a top loading washing machine last year that doesn't have a middle agitator. It mostly uses jets and spinning to clean. Just fyi they exist now. lol And thanks for this video! I can't believe how often I hear about people not washing their dresses. Especially after sweating in them all summer. 😫

A fiber artist here. Great gentle cleanser for hand washing is called Soak, knitters use it for hand washing wools, silks, cottons, etc. and you don’t have to rinse it, you can buy it at a local yarn shop or on line. Synthrapol is a detergent that dyers use to reduce back staining and it helps pull off rouge dyes, most quilt stores have it or you can find it on line. It is concentrated so a dime sized drop will do. Another gentle cleansers that hand weavers use is call Orvus paste it is used on horses and can be found at a store like tractor supply or online. In a pinch a silicone free shampoo works because it is ph balanced. Most care tags tell you to go for the most gentle cleanse, most fabrics can handle a good wash, It is the dryer that will do more damage.

Great instructional vid Tyler, I tend to hand wash most of my dresses cuz I’m scared of damaging them. When it comes to drying, I use a wire drying rack. I put the bodice and the top part of the skirt on top of the rack. This way I can arrange the bows and stuff so they won’t get wonky. I let the skirt hang after I straighten all the layers. This takes up less room, which is great if you live somewhere people need that table you’re using and you don’t want people stepping on you stuff. If you buy second hand, asking the previous owner how they washed a dress can be helpful too, though hearing they just threw it in the washing machine at 40C is something I hope never too hear again.

Great video, good info! One note, however: you definitely need to take the plastic off of your dress. My m-i-l is an antiques dealer, specializing in clothing, and she says NO PLASTIC BAGS ON GARMENTS. EVER. Her shouting, not mine. What can I say, she's five feet tall and angry. Anyway, plastic traps moisture, promotes mold/mildew/fungus growing on fabrics over time. Invest in a breathable fabric garment bag, or hell, put a king-sized natural fabric pillowcase over it, cutting a small hole for the hanger, and it will be so much better for it. Edit: I'm talking about the velvet dress you showed for 5 seconds.

I don't think I've ever laughed as much at Laundry

Where was this video last year?! I totally did NOTHING said in this video. I just turned my dress inside out, tossed it in the washing machine on the lowest settings possible, took it out, tossed it in the dryer, and done. I will admit, my petticoat came out with a super super light hint of pink (which is odd because the white on the dress stayed white) but the dress looks the same. Nothing got ruined on it, no wrinkles, no fades, no missing shapes. I think I got lucky. But will definitely be more careful with my dresses in the future.

When I wash my lolita dresses they have to be washed separately. They're all hand made and the fabric is custom made so needs seprate special care. My other pieces are typically hand made but are washed in a separate load.

I’ve never clicked on a video so fast! Thank you for this! I get so nervous about washing some things and always opt to was them by hand 😂

I feel so much anxiety using a washing machine even on gentle! I usually go handwashing with woolite in a bathtub. It gives me more peace of mind.

I’m so scared to do this. I have an Emily Temple Cute dress that has a waist tie that is different from the rest of the dress. I may just have to dry clean it.

I'm watching this with all the seriousness of actually owning any Lolita pieces lmao

This video is adorable, I know it’s a tutorial but the amount of care you put into it is so cute! I’ve had a relative wash multiple dresses without realizing there was a process so I know the pain of ruining a dress! 😭

I have approximately 0 Lolita dresses so I have no idea why I'm watching and interested in a girl just telling other people how to wash clothes

I’ve spent too much time in Japanese class to have to listen that 可愛いですね

Thank you so much for this, I'm bookmarking this for the future....forever.

Not sure if I could wash my dress. There's heaps of different things in different colours all around the whole dress and it'd be a nightmare testing them all

broke college student here who doesn't want to pay for a load to wash 1 thing...the bucket is my life 😂

So happy this video appeared in my feed 🦋

This is so timely for me! I had previously lived in an apartment that had a top loading washer with agitator and thus have been hand washing my lolita in my bathroom sink. But I just moved to a house that doesn't have an agitator so using the washing machine is finally feasible. So glad I now have all the tips on doing so!

I've been hand washing mine for a while- good thing too since i didn't know about the center agitator issue! That's the only kind we got

Just got the filthiest jsk in the mail from Depop, my FIRST dress since i left lolita 5 years ago. fml but BLESS YOU for this post
