How to Care for Lace Knickers: Keep Your Peony and Dahlia Briefs Beautiful

Quick answer

Hand-wash your lace knickers in cold water with a gentle lingerie detergent and lay them flat to dry. Avoid fabric softener, bleach, and the dryer to keep the lace and elastic intact.

Step-by-step lace knicker care

1. 1. Prepare a cold soak: Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of mild lingerie detergent. Submerge your lace knickers and gently swish them for a few minutes. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes. Common mistake: using hot water can shrink or distort the lace fibers.
2. 2. Rinse gently: Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with fresh cool water. Swish the knickers gently until all detergent is removed. Do not wring or twist the fabric. Checkpoint: if you see suds, rinse again. Residue can irritate skin and attract dirt.
3. 3. Remove excess water without twisting: Press the knickers gently between two clean towels to absorb moisture. Never twist or wring the lace, as this can break the delicate threads. Common mistake: twisting the fabric can permanently stretch the elastic and distort the fit.
4. 4. Lay flat to dry: Place the knickers on a drying rack or a clean towel away from direct sunlight and heat. Reshape the lace gently while damp. Avoid hanging them by the elastic, which can stretch it out. Checkpoint: never put lace knickers in the dryer. The heat can damage the elastic and cause the lace to shrink or warp.
5. 5. Store with care: Fold your lace knickers loosely and store them in a drawer with other delicates. Avoid hanging them on sharp hooks that can snag the lace. Common mistake: stuffing them into a crowded drawer can cause snags and pulls. Give them a little space.
