Imagine you have ordered a custom corset tailored to your specifications. It is beautiful and emphasizes your femininity so elegantly. But one mistake in the form of improper care, a month later, led to the destruction of your favorite part of the wardrobe.
A corset is an accessory that requires special care. Especially when it comes to models with embroidery handmade, mesh, or satin corset. There are many nuances that every owner of a casual, formal, or wedding corset should be aware of.
Simple Tips and Care Rules
Some useful tips for caring for a corset:
- Dry cleaning. If you purchased a ready-made corset or by a bespoke order, it is best to entrust its cleaning to professionals. They certainly know how to properly care for the product, both from flower lace and from satin or other materials.
- Delicate wash. If dry cleaning is not an option, but the corset needs to be laundered, choose to hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Be sure to completely unlace the entire lacing-up corset first. The temperature should not exceed 30-40°. Avoid strong friction, twisting of the fabric, and soaking. The entire washing process should not exceed 15 minutes. After washing, carefully rinse the product and dry it first with a towel, and then on a flat surface after smoothing it with your hands. It will dry completely within 3-4 hours.
- Be careful with embroidery and lace. If you have a black satin corset, a model for the bridal outfit, or embellished with decorative items, avoid mechanical influences that can damage these delicate elements.
- Store your corset properly. To preserve the shape and beauty of the crop top, it is recommended to store it in a horizontal position on a special pillow or in a box.
- Avoid prolonged wear. Despite the beauty of the corset, made according to individual parameters, it is recommended to give the skin a rest. Prolonged wear can put pressure on the skin and muscles and lead to rapid soiling.
- Correct lacing. If you have a top with a lacing back, remember that too much tightening damages the material and puts pressure on the body. Follow the instructions for lacing and consider how you feel.
- Ironing. Any corset can be ironed. But everything will depend on the material. Select the mode according to this parameter. For example, if the corset is made of synthetics, then the mode should be for synthetics. But for reinsurance, it is better to iron any corset, after putting another fabric (gauze or cotton) on it.
Do not forget that your corset is not just a wardrobe item, but part of your style and self-expression. With care and attention, it will delight you for many years, emphasizing your individuality.
