Quick Answer
Hand wash your 2 piece lingerie set in cold water with a gentle detergent, then air dry flat and store it folded in a drawer to keep the lace and elastic in top shape.
Why Hand Washing Matters
Machine washing can snag delicate lace and stretch out elastic, especially on pieces like the Princess Logo Elastic Booty Short and Bra Set, which features a double wide strapped bra top and a super cheeky bottom. The straps and bands are designed to hold their shape, but harsh cycles and high heat can weaken them over time.
By hand washing, you control the water temperature and agitation, reducing wear on the fabric and keeping the blush pink and black colors vibrant.
Drying and Storage Trade-offs
Air drying flat is gentler than hanging, which can stretch out the straps and bands. For storage, folding is better than hanging for the same reason—hanging a lace bra by its straps can cause permanent stretching.
If you must hang the set, use a padded hanger and hang it by the center gore of the bra, not the straps. But folding in a drawer is the safest bet for long-term shape retention.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
- Check the care label: Look for any specific washing instructions on the tag. Most delicate sets like this one recommend hand washing, but always confirm. If the label is missing, default to hand washing in cold water.
- Fill a basin with cold water: Use a clean sink or basin and fill it with cold water. Add a small amount of gentle detergent designed for delicates. Avoid hot water, which can shrink or distort elastic. Never use bleach or fabric softener—they can break down elastic fibers.
- Submerge and gently swirl: Place the set in the water and gently swirl it for a few minutes. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can misshape the bra cups and panty band. If there are stains, gently rub the fabric together, but avoid aggressive scrubbing.
- Rinse in cold water: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Swirl the set again to remove all detergent residue. Repeat if needed. Residue can irritate skin and attract dirt, so rinse thoroughly.
- Press out excess water: Lay the set on a clean, dry towel and roll it up gently to absorb moisture. Do not wring or twist. Rolling helps remove water without stretching the fabric.
- Air dry flat: Place the set flat on a drying rack or a dry towel, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Reshape the bra cups and smooth the bands while damp. Never use a dryer—high heat can melt synthetic fibers and ruin elasticity.
- Fold and store in a drawer: Once completely dry, fold the bra and panty together or separately and place them in a drawer. Avoid hanging to prevent strap stretching. Store in a cool, dry place, and consider using a fabric-lined drawer to protect delicate lace.
