Lace & Delicate Embroidery

Lace is delicate and can easily stretch or snag. The safest method is hand washing.

  • Step1 — Fill with Cold Water
    Use cold or lukewarm water (never hot). Heat weakens lace fibers and elastic.

  • Step2 — Add Gentle Detergent
    Choose a mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach or fabric softener.

  • Step3 — Gently Press, Don’t Scrub
    Submerge the lace lingerie and gently press the water through the fabric.
    ❌ Do not twist
    ❌ Do not rub
    ❌ Do not wring

  • Step4 — Rinse Carefully
    Rinse thoroughly in cold water until all detergent is removed.

  • Step5 — Remove Excess Water Properly
    Lay the piece flat on a clean towel and roll it gently to absorb moisture. Never twist.

  • Step6 — Air Dry Only
    Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry.
    🚫Never use a dryer — heat permanently damages lace elasticity.

Velvet Fluxe lace designs are crafted for softness and structure. Gentle care protects both.

Silk & Sheer Mesh

Silk requires even more attention because its fibers are naturally fine.

  •  Step1 — Use Cold Water Only
    Hot water can shrink or dull silk.

  • Step2 — Use Silk‑Safe Detergent
    Always choose a detergent specifically labeled for silk or delicates.

  • Step3 — Limit Soaking Time
    Soak for no longer than 3–5 minutes. Long soaking weakens silk fibers.

  •  Step4 — Press, Never Twist
    Gently press water out using your hands. Do not wring or twist.

  • Step5 — Dry in Shade
    Hang or lay flat in a cool, shaded, well‑ventilated area.
    ☀Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

With proper care, silk lingerie maintains its glow and fluid elegance for years.

Specialty Fabrics: Faux Fur & Strappy Details

For molded cups, embellishments, or specialty textures:

  • Option 1 — Spot Clean (Safest Method)
    Dampen a soft cloth;
    Apply mild detergent;
    Gently clean the targeted area;
    Air dry completely.
  • Option 2 — If Machine Washing Is Necessary
    Place lingerie in a mesh laundry bag;
    Use delicate cycle only;
    Wash with lightweight fabrics;
    Air dry immediately after washing.

Storage Tip:

✔ Store molded bras upright

✔ Do not fold one cup into another

✔ Avoid overcrowding drawers

 Luxury lingerie deserves intentional storage.

Extra Tips to Make Your Bras Last Longer:

✅Wash after every 2–3 wears

✅Rotate between multiple bras

✅Avoid bleach & fabric softener

✅Always air dry

✅Separate light and dark colors

 Rotation preserves elasticity — the key to long‑lasting support.

 

Luxury isn’t just about how lingerie looks. It’s about how beautifully it lasts.

 With proper care, your VelvetFluxe lace and silk pieces will retain their softness, shape, and elegance far beyond ordinary wear.
