Astrid Bralette Care: Wash & Dry Tips for Lace

Quick answer

Hand wash your Astrid Bralette in cold water with a gentle detergent, then lay it flat to air dry. Avoid the washing machine and dryer to protect the lace and sustainable jersey fabric.

How to wash and dry your Astrid Bralette with lace

1. Step 1: Prep the bralette: Fasten any hooks or clasps and turn the bralette inside out. This protects the lace and prevents snagging during washing. Always turn lace garments inside out before washing.
2. Step 2: Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of gentle detergent (like one for delicates). Submerge the bralette and gently swish it for a few minutes. Avoid scrubbing or wringing, which can stretch the fabric or damage the lace. Hot water can shrink or distort the jersey—stick to cold.
3. Step 3: Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Swish the bralette gently until all detergent is removed. Leftover soap can irritate sensitive skin over time. Rinse until the water runs clear—no soap residue.
4. Step 4: Remove excess water without wringing: Gently press the bralette against the side of the basin or between two clean towels. Never twist or wring, as this can break the lace fibers and misshape the cups. Roll the bralette in a towel to absorb moisture instead of twisting.
5. Step 5: Lay flat to air dry: Place the bralette on a drying rack or a clean towel, reshaping it to its original form. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not hang it by the straps, as the weight can stretch them out. Never put a lace bralette in the dryer—heat ruins the elastic and lace.
