CINDY CORSET

• 100% silk shell
• 100% silk lining

• Never submerge in water, even cold or with mild detergent — silk will water-stain, and metal beads or thread can tarnish or rust.
• Hand washing or spot-washing silk + beading is risky because moisture can weaken silk threads that hold beads in place.

Professional Dry Clean Only

• Always take your corset to a specialist dry cleaner who handles silk eveningwear or bridal garments.
• Ask them to:
  • Use a gentle solvent process
  • Protect beading with mesh covers or spot treatments
  • Avoid pressing directly on beads or boning

At Home Spot Maintenance (Between wears)

If you need to freshen it up between professional cleanings:

• Lay the corset flat on a clean towel.
• Use a soft, barely damp white cloth to gently blot (not rub) any areas with body oils or makeup.
• For odor: hang in a well-ventilated area, away from sunlight, and let fresh air do the work.
• Optional: lightly mist the inside (not outer silk) with fabric refresher for delicates (alcohol-free).

Drying and Storing

• Never tumble dry or steam.
• If slightly damp (from spot cleaning), lay flat on a towel until air-dry.
• Store flat or gently rolled in acid-free tissue paper inside a breathable garment bag.
• Avoid hanging by straps — weight can distort the shape over time.
