3. Penalties of loss, damage of the gown are listed as Gown $360; Cap $160; Hood $160
4. Tips on handling

• The gown and the hood: The fabric can only be dry-cleaned. Wet cleaning will cause the gown to shrink or leave white marks during spinning. Do not put pins on the colour strip of the hood. Any of the above will be considered as damage.
• Do not leave stains of drinks (Especially champagne, soft drinks, juice and drinks that contain sugar and colour). In case of slight stains, use a damp cloth (clean water only) to press on the strains for a few times and hang dry.
• If ironing is needed, cover the part that needs ironing with a towel or handkerchief. Set the steam iron at moderate temperature. Do not iron directly on the iron as it will lead to an undesirable shine on the surface.
• Steam iron cannot be used on black velvet directly. Ironing should be done on the black of the velvet. Cover the part to be iron first with a towel or handkerchief.
• If it is not necessary, don’t ironing by yourself.
