Wear & Care Recommendations
Wearing Your Steampunk Corset: Start with the laces loose, then gradually tighten the ribbon closure for comfort. Use the side adjustment buckles to customize your fit. For first-time corset wearers, ease into longer wear times to allow your body to adjust. Wear a camisole or fitted top underneath to protect the fabric and enhance comfort.
Maintenance: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, or dry clean for best results. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Store flat or rolled to maintain the shape and integrity of the brocade fabric. Keep away from sharp objects to protect the delicate jacquard weave and metal hardware.
