How to use: First, put on the corset using the side zipper. Then, adjust the tightness by pulling the cording through the nickel brass grommets in the back. Snap on the skirt and attach the garters if you like. You can also wear the black ruffle panty and put on the black hair bow to complete the look. Note: This costume is for hand wash only, so don't put it in the washing machine. When cinching the corset, be careful not to pull too hard to avoid damaging the bones. Maintenance: After each use, gently wash it by hand with mild detergent. Let it air dry. Store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition.
