To wear this nurse corset costume, first open the side zipper and step into the corset. Then, close the zipper and adjust the thick cording at the back to cinch it to your desired tightness. You can also tie the laces through the nickel brass grommets at the back for a better fit. Put on the included tutu, nurse hat, and stethoscope to complete the look. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to only hand wash the costume. Do not use a washing machine as it may damage the sequins and the fabric. After washing, let it air - dry. Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight for a long time to prevent color fading.
