Stretch lace, fishnet and rhinestone pieces are more delicate than they look — and they reward gentle care with years of consistent fit. Here is the routine that keeps them looking new.
Wash by hand, always
Hand-wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener and the washing machine: agitation stretches the mesh and dulls rhinestones. This matters most for high-stretch pieces like the Odette Rhinestone Bodystocking and the Noir Fishnet Bodycon Pantyhose.
Dry flat, never tumble
Press water out gently with a towel, then lay flat on a drying rack away from direct sun and heaters. Tumble drying kills the elastane that gives fishnet and lace their recovery — the reason a piece keeps its shape is the elastic, not the fabric.
Store with care
Fold, don’t hang, stretch pieces like the Isla Sheer Lace Stockings — hanging stretches the welt. Keep rhinestone pieces like the Stella Striped Rhinestone Set separate from rough textures so stones stay fixed.
