Fabric Care Guide

FABRIC CARE GUIDE

At Modestly Rooted Boutique, we believe quality pieces are meant to be loved and worn well for years to come. Proper fabric care helps preserve the fit, feel, color, and longevity of your clothing.

Always check the care label on each garment first, as individual pieces may have specific care instructions.

Rayon and viscose are soft, flowy fabrics made from plant-based fibers.
