Note: don't be afraid of linen. Linen is one of the oldest fibers on Earth and great to wear and absolutely the best for hot weather. Wrinkles are very in for a casual chic or you can get a clothes steamer.
How do I best care for my Inizio linen garment?
Low temperature is the key. I washed my dresses by hand and in the washing machine (turned inside out) with equally good results but it should be cold or cool water, otherwise it may shrink. With washer make sure that the washer's inside is perfectly smooth and don't overstuff with other items.
Same for the dryer - the very low gentle setting is fine but watch the amount of time and don't overdry. If I use the dryer, I like to pull out the garment when slightly damp. It makes it perfect for ironing or steaming. If iron - turn inside out and iron on the wrong side to prevent shine. Otherwise, you can just hang it to dry and also - steam or iron when slightly gamp. Avoid direct sun.
