Corset Care Instructions

Wearing your corset

ParisNicolle Inc corsets come fully-laced so there is minimum effort required to wear your garment. Begin by loosening the laces at the back of the corset. Next un-hook the busk at the front and then wrap the corset around your waist/torso, re-hooking the busk in the front center. Start to tighten the laces from the top first followed by the bottom, taking up the excess lace into the loops in the center of the corset. A corset is designed to cinch your waist area and sculpt you above and below. Do not attempt to radically cinch your hips or rib-cage otherwise you may damage yourself or the corset. Always tighten the laces gradually and bear in mind that corsets should always be 'worn-in' over the first 5-10 wearings to ensure safety first and to allow the garment to shape itself slowly to your form. Once the corset is partially cinched, stretch the arms in the air and wriggle your torso to settle the garment about your torso before attempting the final cinching. Also, take care not to cinch too much at a time; take your time, resting at intervals and ensure you gently tighten evenly and accurately. The end result of lacing the corset should be even laces all the way up and down. This will both aid comfort and prolong the life of the stays.


Washing your corset

After removing your corset, hang it over the laces liner side up over a hanger (if you plan to keep your closet) or a chair (if you wear it all the time and want to keep it handy) or some other contraption that will allow your corset to hang. This not only evenly distributes the weight of the corset over the laces, it also protects the exterior fabric and allows the corset to air out. If you need to clean your corset, you can spot clean using a mild detergent and/or use a fabric freshener like Febreze. NEVER wash your corset in a washing machine or toss in the dryer to freshen. You will bend the steel bones, ruin the fabric and potentially rust the metal grommets and steel boning. From time to time you might want to have your corset professionally dry-cleaned if you wear it often. It’s beneficial to wear a light weight camisole or tank top underneath your corset to maintain the life and freshness of your corset.


If you don't like the lace it comes with feel free to change to whatever lace you feel comfortable using.
