Caring for bodysuits properly helps maintain their shape, texture, and colour. Washing instructions vary by fabric, and most recommend gentle cycles or hand washing. Avoiding high heat when drying and ironing delicate fabrics preserves the fit and longevity of the garment.
Can bodysuits be machine-washed or should they be hand-washed?
Some bodysuits are safe for machine washing on a gentle cycle, while delicate fabrics like lace or satin are best hand-washed to prevent damage or stretching.
Do certain fabrics require special care, like silk or lace?
Fabrics like lace or silk should be handled carefully. Using mild detergents, cold water, and air drying prevents tearing, shrinking, or fading of these delicate materials.
How can I prevent stretching or shrinking after washing?
Always follow the care label instructions, avoid wringing, and lay bodysuits flat to dry. Stretchy fabrics may retain their shape longer when washed in cold water and gently reshaped after drying.
