Delicate stockings are amazing ��� and the high-quality ones we sell can last a long time, provided they���re properly cared for. We recommend hand-washing in lukewarm water with an extra-gentle lingerie wash. Gently squeeze any water out of fabric, then lay flat on a towel to dry. You can also hang your stockings to dry (for those of us with less than ideal New York City surface area), but those stockings that have a higher denier (ie: are thicker), tend to get heavy when wet and can stretch out a bit when hung, so toss over your shower curtain rod at your own discretion.
