How to Care for Your Festival Clothing and Custom Rave Wear
Your festival outfits deserve as much love as you do! —it deserves a little TLC to keep it in top shape. At Sea Dragon Studio, we create mind-mending, comfortable, hand crafted pieces designed to last through every festival, rave, and adventure. The secret behind youthful Looking Sea Dragon Skin is all about love, here’s everything you need to know about caring for your sequins, holographic rave wear, and custom garments like a pro.
General Care for All Sea Dragon Studio Pieces
Pro Tip: Hand wash only in cold water and line dry out of direct sunlight. Avoid over-washing. In true festival style, only wash your gear when it really needs it! Sometimes, a good dust-off or a quick spot clean is all you need to get back to boogieing.
Other essentials to keep in mind:
• Never wear or store your Sea Dragon Skin or holographic fabrics while they’re wet—wet rubbing can dull the sparkle and cause wear over time.
• Avoid rough surfaces like stage edges, dance floors, or gravel that might snag delicate fabrics.
• Never soak, bleach, iron, tumble dry, or dry clean.
• Don’t pack or store your garments while they’re wet—remove excess water and dry them immediately.
• Keep fabrics away from suntan lotions, deodorants, makeup, perfume, or harsh chemicals (especially petrol—no refueling generators in these!).
Holographic Fabric Care
• Never wear or store holographic garments while wet. Wet rubbing dulls their shine, so ensure they’re completely dry before packing away or wearing again.
• Wipe holographic surfaces with a damp cloth for a quick refresh.
• Avoid scrubbing or harsh detergents to keep the shine intact.
Sequin Garment Care
• Flip sequins to the same direction before washing. • Use a small amount of gentle detergent and cold water to preserve the sparkle.
• Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric—gently pat dry with a towel.
Spandex and Stretch Fabrics
• Wash inside-out to protect the glossy finish.
• Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
Drag, Circus and Performance Wear
• Spot clean where possible to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
• Store hanging or flat to prevent wrinkles or creases in the fabric.
Protecting Colors and Patterns
While we source the best dyes from around the world, some vibrant shades need a little extra care—especially when a garment combines contrasting colors. To avoid color transfer, don’t soak your garments or leave them damp for extended periods.
Tips for Longevity
Want your festival gear to last season after season?

3. Pack carefully when traveling to prevent snags or wrinkles.
