Quick answer
Hand wash your Mia Embroidered Brief in cool water with a gentle lingerie detergent, then lay it flat to dry away from direct heat. This routine keeps the sheer tulle, silk front panel, and hand-drawn embroidery looking new.
Why the Mia Embroidered Brief needs special care
The Mia Embroidered Brief combines a silk front panel, a cotton lining, and sheer tulle decorated with Fleur’s hand-drawn bespoke embroidery. Each material responds differently to water, heat, and friction. Silk can lose its lustre if agitated, tulle can snag, and embroidery threads can loosen. A gentle routine prevents these problems and keeps the brief fitting as intended.
What you need before you start
Choose a detergent labelled for silk or delicates – enzyme-free and pH-neutral. Avoid fabric softener, bleach, and stain pre-treatments. You will also need a clean basin or sink, cool water, and a flat drying surface (a mesh rack or a towel).
How to wash and dry your Mia Embroidered Brief
- Prepare the wash water: Fill a basin with cool water (around 30°C / 85°F) and add a small amount of delicate lingerie detergent. Swirl to dissolve before adding the brief. Hot water can shrink the cotton lining and dull the silk panel.
- Submerge and soak gently: Place the brief in the water and press it down gently. Let it soak for 5–10 minutes. Do not rub, scrub, or twist the fabric. Rubbing can pull the embroidery threads and distort the tulle.
- Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with fresh cool water. Swish the brief gently until no suds remain. Repeat if necessary. Leftover detergent can cause yellowing on the silk panel.
- Remove excess water without wringing: Lift the brief out of the water and gently roll it inside a clean, dry towel. Press the towel to absorb moisture, then unroll. Wringing or twisting can break the cotton lining fibres and misshape the waistband.
- Lay flat to dry: Place the brief on a mesh drying rack or a dry towel, smoothing out any folds. Keep it away from radiators, direct sunlight, and tumble dryers. Heat can shrink the cotton lining and make the tulle brittle.
