When your sash arrives

Hang your sash on a hanger as soon as you receive it, so it's ready for photos, ceremonies and celebrations. If needed, steam it gently from behind. Your sash is double-ply bridal satin, the same material as a bridal gown, so it deserves careful handling.

Graduation day

Put the sash on while looking in the mirror. Once you're happy with it, pin it from underneath so it sits beautifully in pictures and doesn't shift while you walk. Then enjoy the day: you earned this moment. Congratulations! Tag Rochie's Originals on Instagram for a chance to be featured on our page.

If your sash gets a stain

Take it to a professional dry cleaner right away. Please don't try to clean it yourself: double-ply bridal satin needs professional care. For best results, choose a dry cleaner who knows bridal satin, the same material as a bridal gown.

Keeping your sash for a lifetime

For best results, frame your sash as soon as you can after graduation. A museum-quality frame, sealed so air can't reach the fabric, helps protect it and limit oxidation over time. If framing has to wait, keep your sash in a box away from sunlight, and ask us about Rochie's graduation treasure box of memories. No box yet? Hang your sash on a hanger inside a zippered garment bag in your closet.
