To use this Celeste corset top, first adjust the straps to your desired length for a comfortable fit. Then, use the hidden side zipper to put it on. After that, lace up the back to get the perfect tightness and flattering shape. As for care, it's best to hand - wash this delicate satin corset in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing it out too hard to keep the shape intact. Hang it to dry away from direct sunlight. Also, remember that the skirt and gloves shown in some pictures are sold separately. And don't be surprised if the color looks a bit different in person than in the images because of lighting.
