FAQs
What special steps are needed to keep the white/light latex components from yellowing or staining?
Strictly limit exposure to light and metals. White latex is highly sensitive. Always store white pieces wrapped in opaque, acid-free tissue paper and keep them in a dark, cool place. Never let white latex touch bare metal (hangers, snaps, zippers) as it causes irreversible chemical stains.
Should I put on a latex nurse dress using the front zipper/buttons, or should I pull it over my head?
Always use the closure. Nurse dresses are tailored and designed to be opened fully (via the front zipper or buttons). Never pull a tailored dress over your head, as the seams and delicate buttonholes cannot handle the stress and will likely tear or split.
How do I prevent the contrasting color trims (e.g., red cuffs) from staining the white body of the dress?
Separate the colors when wet. The color bleeding usually happens when the latex is wet. During washing and before drying, quickly but thoroughly rinse the entire garment. Do not allow the wet, colored areas to rest against the white areas for any period of time; blot dry immediately.
How should I care for the small belt or tie elements that often accompany nurse dresses?
Store flat and separately. Latex belts are prone to permanent stress creases if folded or tightly wrapped. Always store the belt unfastened and flat, ideally dusted with talcum powder and placed in its own opaque bag, separate from the main dress.
