How to Care for Your Plus Size Clothing: Fabric-Specific Tips
Your clothes deserve care — just like your curves do 💖
We all know that moment: You finally find the perfect plus size kurta or co-ord… and then it fades, shrinks, or loses shape after just 2 washes 😩
It’s not your body’s fault. It’s not even always the brand’s fault. Sometimes, it’s just that different fabrics need different care.
Here’s a simple guide to help you keep your favorite pieces from The Plus Size Co looking fresh, comfy, and fabulous — wear after wear.
🧵 1. Cotton
What it feels like: Breathable, soft, perfect for Indian weather
Wash Tips:
- ✔️ Cold water wash only (prevents shrinking)
- ✔️ Use mild detergent — no bleach or strong chemicals
- ✔️ Hang dry in shade — not direct sun
🌬️ 2. Rayon
What it feels like: Soft, flowy, drapes beautifully
Wash Tips:
- ✔️ Hand wash recommended
- ✔️ If machine washing, use a mesh bag + gentle cycle
- ✔️ Never wring — gently squeeze water out
🛏️ 3. Cotton Blend (Nightwear)
What it feels like: Soft but a bit stretchy, ideal for sleepwear
Wash Tips:
- ✔️ Machine wash on cold with like colors
- ✔️ Turn inside out to protect prints
- ✔️ Avoid tumble drying — use flat dry or line dry
🧼 Bonus Tips for Long-Lasting Clothes
- ✔️ Store folded — hanging can stretch fabric over time
- ✔️ Wash only when needed — frequent washing wears fabric faster
- ✔️ Iron on low or medium heat, depending on the fabric
