Quick Answer
Wash your Katie Crew Bodysuit in cold water on a gentle cycle and lay it flat to dry to protect the FLOAT Rib fabric's softness and stretch.
Why FLOAT Rib Needs Special Care
The Katie Crew Bodysuit is made with FLOAT Rib, a fabric designed to be ultra-soft, stretchy, and supportive. Its ribbed texture and snug fit rely on the integrity of the fibers. Harsh washing or high heat can break down the elastane, causing the bodysuit to lose its shape and support over time.
By following a few simple care habits, you can extend the life of the garment and keep it looking and feeling like new—even after many wears.
Step-by-Step Care Routine
- Turn it inside out: Before washing, turn the bodysuit inside out. This protects the outer surface from friction and helps preserve the ribbed texture. Check for any stains or spots before washing and pre-treat them gently.
- Use cold water and gentle detergent: Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can break down the stretch fibers. Skip the fabric softener—it can leave a residue that reduces the fabric's breathability.
- Skip the dryer: Lay the bodysuit flat to dry, away from direct sunlight. High heat can shrink or warp the FLOAT Rib fabric, so never tumble dry. Reshape the bodysuit while it's damp to maintain its original fit.
- Store it folded, not hung: Fold the bodysuit and place it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging can stretch the fabric at the shoulders and body over time. Keep it away from sharp hooks or rough surfaces that could snag the ribbed knit.
