Quick Answer

Hand wash your lace bralette in cold water with a gentle detergent, then air dry flat and store it folded in a drawer to maintain its shape and delicate lace.

Why Lace Needs Special Care

Lace is a delicate fabric that can easily snag, stretch, or lose its shape if treated like regular underwear. The Signature Lace Bralette from Lemonade Dolls uses soft stretch lace with bold color combinations, so proper care keeps the colors vibrant and the lace intact.

Machine washing and tumble drying are the biggest culprits of damage. The agitation can pull threads, and heat can weaken elastic. By hand washing and air drying, you protect the lace and the bra's fit, ensuring it continues to provide the support and comfort you expect.

What to Avoid

Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as they can break down the lace fibers and dull the colors. Also, never wring or twist the bralette to remove water—this distorts the shape. Instead, press gently with a towel.

When storing, don't hang your lace bralette by the straps, as the weight can stretch them. Folding and laying flat in a drawer is the safest method.

Step-by-Step Lace Bralette Care

  1. Step 1: Fasten and Prep: Fasten the back closure and place the bralette in a mesh laundry bag if you prefer machine washing. This prevents straps from tangling and hooks from snagging the lace. Always fasten hooks before washing to avoid pulls.
  2. Step 2: Hand Wash in Cold Water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a gentle detergent. Submerge the bralette and gently swirl for a few minutes. Avoid scrubbing or twisting. If machine washing, use the delicate cycle with cold water and the mesh bag. Cold water preserves lace color and elasticity.
  3. Step 3: Rinse and Press: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Rinse until no suds remain. Press the bralette between a clean towel to remove excess water—never wring it. Pressing, not wringing, keeps the lace shape intact.
  4. Step 4: Air Dry Flat: Lay the bralette flat on a dry towel or a drying rack in a shaded area. Reshape the cups and straps gently. Avoid hanging, direct sunlight, and tumble drying. Drying flat prevents stretching and color fading.
  5. Step 5: Store Folded, Not Hung: Fold the bralette in half with cups nested and place in a drawer. Avoid hanging by straps, which can stretch them over time. Folding preserves the bra's shape and elasticity.
