FAQs
What is the best way to clean the Marseille Wired Basque?
Hand wash the basque in cold water using a mild detergent for delicates. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Can I put the basque in a washing machine?
It is strongly recommended not to machine wash the basque. The delicate embroidery, mesh, and wired structure can be damaged by machine agitation.
How do I ensure I have the correct size?
Refer to a reliable sizing chart and measure your band and cup size accurately. This specific model is a 40E, so ensure this corresponds to your measurements.
What materials is the Marseille Wired Basque made from?
The description mentions superfine mesh and Marseille embroidery, indicating a blend of delicate synthetic fabrics designed for aesthetics and comfort.
Is this basque suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, its intricate design and delicate materials make it best suited for special occasions or selective wear rather than daily, high-intensity use.
How should I store the basque to prevent damage?
Store it folded gently in a drawer or lingerie bag. Avoid overcrowding your drawers, which can cause creasing or damage to the delicate fabric and embroidery.
What does 'Wired Basque' mean?
A 'wired basque' is a type of lingerie garment that incorporates underwire support, similar to a bra, to provide shaping and lift, integrated into a longer, often corset-like bodice.
Troubleshooting
Underwire poking through fabric
This can occur with wear and tear. Gently try to reposition the underwire. If it has significantly broken through, professional repair may be needed, or consider replacing the garment.
Embroidery threads pulling or snagging
Carefully trim any loose threads with small, sharp scissors. Avoid snagging the garment on rough surfaces. Hand wash gently to prevent further pulling.
Elastic losing stretch
Ensure the garment is not overstretched during washing or drying. Avoid high heat drying. Gentle hand washing and flat drying are key to preserving elasticity.
Mesh appearing dull or losing sheerness
This may be due to improper washing. Use only cold water and mild detergents. Avoid bleach and high heat. Ensure it is not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods when drying.
