Suit Care Guidelines
No no's:
-
Do not soak your suit! Soaking promotes running and fading of the dye in your suit.
-
Do not dry clean your suit! The chemicals are too harsh for the fabric and glue.
Washing and care
-
I strongly discourage practicing posing in your suits.
-
The stones are delicate and many of the fabrics, specifically holograms, will begin to show signs of wear much faster than a store bought bikini.
-
Suits cost hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars…protect your investment by posing in a cheap store bought bikini.
During your show:
-
Use double sided tape instead of spray glues and adhesives. Double sided tape comes off easily and doesn't ruin fabric or leave residue.
After your show:
-
Wash ASAP and don't let the Tan set/dry any longer than you possibly can.
-
Hand wash in cold water. Repeatedly rinse until water runs clear. Use a mild detergent like Dreft or Woolite and hand wash in shallow water and drain until water runs clear
-
To remove glue and bikini bite, lightly brush "inside" of suit with a toothbrush. Do not scrub or use brushes on the outside of the suit especially on hologram fabrics. Hologram fabrics will turn silver if exposed to oil or harsh washin or scrubbing.
-
Hang to dry over a towel as excess tan and coloring may drip onto floor.
