To wear this costume, first put on the corset dress. The back zipper makes it easy to get in and out, and the privacy panel keeps things modest. The thick cording at the back can be adjusted to fit you perfectly. Put on the headband and wrist bands to complete the look. When it comes to maintenance, only hand wash the costume. This will help keep the faux leather fabric and the cotton lining in good condition. Don't use a washing machine as it may damage the steel bones and the fabric. Enjoy looking like a fierce warrior woman with this costume!
