Carina Mesh and Lace Robe: Sizing and Care Tips

Quick Answer

For the Carina Mesh and Lace Robe, choose your usual lingerie size for a relaxed fit, and always hand wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent to protect the delicate lace and mesh.

Step-by-Step Sizing and Care Guide

1. Choose your usual lingerie size: Refer to the size chart on the product page and pick the size you normally wear in lingerie. The robe has a relaxed, drapey fit, so you don't need to size up for comfort. If you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a looser or more fitted look. The inner ties allow for a secure, adjustable fit, so minor size differences can be accommodated.
2. Check the sleeve and length proportions: The 3/4 length bell sleeves and short hem are designed to hit at specific points. When trying on, raise your arms slightly to ensure the sleeves don't ride up too much and that the hem sits where you like. If the sleeves feel too tight or the hem too short, consider sizing up. The robe is meant to drape, so it shouldn't feel restrictive at the shoulders or chest.
3. Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and add a gentle detergent designed for delicates. Submerge the robe and gently swish it for a few minutes. Avoid scrubbing or twisting, as this can damage the lace and mesh. Rinse thoroughly with cold water until no soap remains. Never use hot water or a washing machine, as agitation can cause the lace to stretch or snag.
4. Dry flat away from heat: Lay the robe flat on a clean, dry towel and roll it up to gently press out excess water. Then reshape it on a drying rack or another dry towel, smoothing out any wrinkles. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can weaken the fibers. Do not wring or hang the robe to dry, as the weight of the water can distort the lace and mesh.
5. Store properly to prevent snags: Once fully dry, fold the robe and place it in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it on a sharp hanger that could catch the lace. If you must hang it, use a padded hanger and ensure the robe is not stretched. Store it separately from items with zippers or hooks to avoid pulls and tears.
