vintage dior care tag hieroglyphics… Celsius?

[JamesyLew]

Hi all, could you assist with some care instructions for this vintage dior shirt? It’s 100% cotton, so I thought that cold wash/cold dry would do the trick but NOPE. As you can see, it looks worse bad straight out of the drier.
i assume the numbers are Celsius, but that’s all I’ve got and I want to make sure I care for this shirt properly. Any help?

This is the shirt after a cold H2O machine wash and tumble in the dryer? I would've assumed washing in the machine, cold H2O and delicate cycle and dryer would be fine. And I would take out of the dryer while still a little damp and iron.

Yes. C = celsius.

50 degrees celsius isn't super cold. Personally, I would wash this on delicate 30 degrees C and then hang up to dry, but certainly not put it in the tumble dryer. IMHO tumble dryer is good for stuff like towels, bedsheets and the like but not for 90% of clothes if you want them to last.

Okay, your label has five symbols, here's my understanding of them, going left to right, up to down:

1. wash at or below 50 C
2. do not use chlorine bleach
3. can be tumble dried
4. iron 140 C
5. dry clean

Source here, along with other symbols.

Your shirt just needs a hot iron to look good again.

Personally, I would treat more gently and hand wash in warm water, line dry and then hot iron. But then I like my vintage to last.

A fluff dry in the machine isn't hard on clothes. And, yes, I like my vintage to last too. lol
