Club wear: materials, fit and care
Built to be worn out
The distinction that matters here is between costume and clothing. Everything in this range is drafted to be worn for an evening: seams are finished, hardware is backed so it does not catch, and the PU is lined where it meets skin. That is why it fits differently from novelty pieces, and why it costs more.
| Piece | Coverage | Worn with | Fabric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bodysuit | Full torso | Skirt, trousers | Mesh, PU, stretch |
| Harness dress | Strapped over | Bodysuit beneath | PU, webbing |
| Cut-out top | Partial | Bra, harness | Stretch mesh |
| Wet-look trousers | Full | Anything | Coated stretch |
Fit and care
PU and wet-look fabrics stretch slightly and do not recover, so order to fit rather than expecting give. Never machine wash or tumble dry PU: wipe with a damp cloth and dry flat away from heat.
Frequently asked
- Is this real latex?
- No. The range uses PU and wet-look coated stretch fabrics, which look similar but breathe better and are far easier to care for.
- Can these pieces be worn outside a club?
- Many can. Wet-look trousers and mesh tops work as ordinary alternative wear; the harness dresses and bodysuits are the more specific end.
- How do you care for PU?
- Wipe with a damp cloth, dry flat, never machine wash or tumble dry. Heat cracks the surface permanently.
- Does the PU stretch over time?
- Slightly, and it does not recover. Order to fit.
