Quick Answer

To keep your Daisy Longline bralette in top shape, hand wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent, then lay it flat to dry—never wring or tumble dry.

Why Hand Washing Matters

The Daisy Longline bralette features delicate lace and a longer band that provides extra support. The elastic in the band and the lace trim are the most vulnerable parts during washing. Machine washing can stretch the elastic and snag the lace, causing the bralette to lose its shape faster.

Hand washing is gentler and helps preserve the bralette's fit, especially if you wear it for all-day comfort. It only takes a few extra minutes compared to tossing it in the machine.

Step-by-Step Care Routine

  1. Step 1: Prep the bralette: Close any hooks or clasps and turn the bralette inside out. This protects the lace and prevents snagging during washing. Always fasten hooks before washing to avoid them catching on the fabric.
  2. Step 2: Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of gentle detergent (like one made for delicates). Submerge the bralette and gently squeeze the soapy water through it for about 2-3 minutes. Avoid scrubbing or twisting. Cold water prevents color fading and keeps elastic from breaking down.
  3. Step 3: Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Swish the bralette gently until no suds remain. Press the water out with your hands—do not wring. Residual detergent can irritate skin and degrade fabric over time.
  4. Step 4: Dry flat: Lay the bralette on a clean, dry towel. Roll the towel with the bralette inside to absorb excess water, then reshape the bralette and lay it flat on a drying rack or another dry towel. Avoid hanging, as the weight of water can stretch the band. Never use a dryer—heat damages elastic and lace.
  5. Step 5: Store properly: Once fully dry, fold the bralette in half or lay it flat in a drawer. Do not hang it by the straps, as this can stretch the band. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Proper storage maintains the longline shape and support.
