Adore Fitting Room See Sizing Guide Corset Care Your corset will need dry cleaning in the gentlest process offered at a specialist cleaners. Normal hand washing will eventually rust the bones which will stain the outer fabric of your corset. It is not necessary to dry clean after every wear as this puts as much wear and tear on the garment as wearing does. After wearing, air your corset to freshen it up. Sponge clean any stains and dry clean infrequently. Putting the Corset On It is useful to have someone assisting, but it is possible to put on your corset without help. 1. Loosen off the lacing then put the corset around you and fasten the front busk. 2. Pull the lace loops gently then tighten the lacing progressively towards the middle from both top and bottom until you are happy with the fit. There should be a pleasant 'hugging' sensation, but you should still be comfortable. 3. To finish, tie the ends in a bow at back or front. 4. DO NOT over tighten or you will damage your corset; corsets mould to the body after a short period and the material takes the strain evenly, then you can go a little tighter.
