To wear your basque, adjust the shoulder straps and the hook and eye back closure until it fits snugly and comfortably, providing the desired lift and support without digging in. For optimal bust shaping, ensure the underwires sit flat against your ribcage. The basque is designed to be compatible with standard stockings, which can be easily attached to the integrated suspender straps. For a coordinated look, pair it with matching Ann Summers Sexy Lace Briefs.To care for your basque, due to its delicate lace and mesh construction, *hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is recommended*. Avoid harsh scrubbing or twisting. Gently press out excess water and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry, as these can damage the delicate fabrics and elastic. The primary material is Polyester, making it durable, but the lace and mesh details require gentle handling.
