Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Alaia Corset, professional care is mandatory. Because of the internal boning structure, machine washing or tumble drying will permanently damage the garment's integrity.
- Cleaning: Always take the item to a reputable dry cleaner specializing in high-end wool garments.
- Storage: Store flat or on a contoured hanger to maintain the shape of the bodice. Avoid hanging by the straps if possible to prevent material stretching.
- Compatibility: The UK size 12 fits true to standard luxury sizing, but it is recommended to check the measurements against your natural waist to ensure the boning sits correctly.
