Red Blouse Fabric Design and Care Tips
- Colour bleeding: Red cotton and silk can bleed. Soak in salt water before stitching and wash alone.
- Shade match: Check the red in daylight. Shop light turns orange-reds pinkish.
- Lining: Use a red or skin-tone cotton lining. White lining shows through at the seams.
- Velvet: Best for winter weddings. Trim seams close because velvet is thick, as on our traditional blouse design page.
