How to Measure Yourself
For accurate sizing, measure your body in light clothing using a soft measuring tape:
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground
- Waist: Measure at your natural waist (where you naturally bend) or where you want the corset to sit
Care & Maintenance: Preserving Your Gothic Investment
To extend the lifespan of your gothic corset and keep the lace pristine:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Use cool water with gentle detergent; avoid machine washing to protect delicate lace and boning structure
- Air Dry Flat: Never wring or twist; lay flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight
- Store Properly: Keep in a cool, dry place away from heat sources. Store with boning supports intact to maintain shape
- Limit Excessive Wear: Rotate between multiple pieces if wearing frequently to prevent material fatigue
- Avoid Chlorine & Bleach: These damage both polyester and spandex, affecting color vibrancy and elasticity
