Even if no one sees it, I'm conscious of the extraordinary delicacy of the embroidery when I'm wearing it, even if I'm not all dressed up. Even if I'm jsut dressed casually, my attitude will be a little different. It's this little extra touch that makes me aware that I have on an impeccable piece of lingerie, something incredibly refined, that I wear with absolute simplicity. Still, I feel more confident because I'm very shy...Yes, that's it! I feel more self-assured.</p> <h3>Care instructions for Renata's silk blouses</h3> <p>Most of the fabrics in Renata's collection are pre-washed during the fabrication process to remove marks left by the embroidery tracing paper. Therefore, it is better to wash the blouse by hand instead of giving it to a drycleaner. We advise that you use a mild shampoo, like a baby shampoo. And, here is a little secret for you: Just add a few drops of rosewater to the water when you rinse. It will give this blouse, that feels like a second skin, a softness, something delicately mysterious and sensual. A woman feels even more intensely feminine in the comfort of this soft-finished fabric... And, it's really easy to dry the blouse: Just roll it in a Turkish towel and then lay it out flat; this way, there is hardly any need for ironing! Indeed, this silk crepe, woven exclusively for Renata by one of the last silk weavers in Lyon, has a supremely soft finish. The fabric's soft finish makes it so easy to care for, that you can wear it every day... And, it will last forever!</p> <h2><a href="http://shop.renataparis.com">Renata online Boutique</a></h2> <p>Renata has the pleasure of offering an exclusive selection of her creations from her <a href="http://shop.renataparis.com">online boutique</a>.
