How do you care for a bodice?

A bodice is the upper part of a dress. Most often, it is a simple loose blouse which can be adorned or modified with assorted corset affairs.

If you wish to clean the corset type of garment, make sure that the strings are removed, and the stays (if any) are out of the garment. The stays are the stiff strips which hold the garment straight, and they can be removed in most of the garments. Look on the inside of the garment near the bottom of the stay pocket, and there should be a tiny hole. This is how the stay is inserted and removed. When the stays are removed, it is best to hand wash the garment and let it air dry to reduce wrinkles. Iron if necessary.

A fabric refresher may be used to good effect if the garment is used over a blouse.
