Using this teddy is easy. Just put it on like you would any other lingerie. Make sure to adjust the shoulder straps to get a perfect fit. When wearing it, be gentle with the lace and the hook closures to avoid any damage. For maintenance, it's best to hand - wash this teddy in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric. After washing, gently squeeze out the excess water and lay it flat to dry. Don't wring it or hang it up, as this can cause the lace to stretch out of shape. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably folded in a drawer, to keep it in good condition.
