How to care for your lingerie sets
No, sadly you can’t just throw your lingerie sets in with the rest of your everyday items. Buy a dedicated lingerie wash bag for your smalls, or consider doing all your delicates by hand. We know, we know, but without taking special care, your delicate sets may end up ruined by your regular wash cycle – and don’t ever put them in the dryer, lest they potentially lose all their shape.
What to look out for when buying a lingerie set
Lingerie sets sure are convenient, but make sure you check the sizing on each item before you hit ‘Purchase’ – as most of us are well aware, sizes can vary greatly in tops and bottons so you’ll need to check that each element will fit. Some brands only offer a single size per set, so just double check your measurements before you order.
