To use this bra, simply adjust the shoulder straps to your desired length for a comfortable fit. Make sure the underwire sits properly under your bust for maximum support. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to hand - wash this bra in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid wringing it out to keep the lace and padding in good condition. Hang it to dry away from direct sunlight. Also, don't wear it during strenuous activities as it's more for everyday elegance and comfort.
