The Do’s and Don’ts of Storing Lace and Delicate Lingerie 👙
Investing in luxury lingerie, especially beautiful, handmade pieces like those from eliDesign, deserves a little extra care. Whether it’s a stunning lace bralette, a sequined bodysuit, or a pair of delicate lace floral shorts, how you store your lingerie matters just as much as how you wear it. Proper storage can extend the life of your favourite intimates and preserve their beauty for years to come.
Here’s your go-to guide for storing lace and delicate lingerie the right way:
✅ DO: Fold and Stack Gently
Always fold your lingerie gently along the natural seams. Stack your underwear neatly in drawers to keep their shape intact. For more structured items, like your corsets or wired bras, lay them flat to avoid misshaping.
Tip: Use drawer organizers or small fabric boxes to keep everything tidy and avoid snagging.
❌ DON’T: Throw Everything in One Drawer
Lace, sequins, and delicate trims can easily get tangled, torn, or stretched out if mixed willy-nilly. Avoid tossing your beautiful eliDesign lingerie into an overstuffed drawer or cramming it in with socks and t-shirts (we’ve all done it!).
✅ DO: Use Lingerie Bags or Tissue Paper
For your most delicate or embellished pieces, like our Ivory Pearl Skirt overlay or any sequined bodysuit, wrap them in acid-free tissue paper or store them in soft lingerie bags. This protects them from dust, pulls, and colour transfer.
❌ DON’T: Hang Stretchy or Lace Items for Long-Term Storage
Hanging lace lingerie or stretchy fabrics for long periods can distort the shape. If you must hang, use padded hangers and only for very short periods.
✅ DO: Store Away from Direct Sunlight and Heat
Light and heat can weaken delicate fabrics and fade lace over time. Keep your lingerie in a cool, dry drawer away from windows or radiators. Bonus: it’ll feel refreshingly cool when you put it on!
❌ DON’T: Store in Plastic Containers
While plastic bins may seem like a good idea, they can trap moisture and lead to mildew or fabric breakdown. Opt for breathable fabric-lined boxes or wood drawers with dividers for the best results.
Keep Your Luxury Pieces Beautiful, Longer
At eliDesign, every piece is thoughtfully crafted using only the finest materials from premium lace to high-quality trims, so it's worth taking the time to store them with care. Following these simple do’s and don’ts ensures your lingerie not only looks beautiful but lasts beautifully.
Because true luxury should be loved, and last. 💕
