FAQs: Caring for your American Shapewear products.

How To Care For Your Shapewear: Washing

The bras, girdles, shapers, panties, and other shapewear cannot be put through a washing machine cycle like your regular clothing. To prolong the life of your American Shapewear, hand wash your items with a gentle detergent. If it is impossible for you to care for your garments this way, place your items in a 'lingerie bag' and wash them on a gentle/delicates cycle. Bleach is not recommended, as the products may be damaged in the process.

How To Care For Your Shapewear: Drying

The undergarments, bras, girdles, and shapewear are made with a variety of fibers as well as lycra and nylon. Lycra is what gives products that "stretch". Unfortunately, it is heavily recommended that you NOT use a clothing dryer when caring for any of your lingerie products. This includes both wet and dry heat and goes for all undergarments purchased through our line. Heat will degrade and ruin the stretch and give of these products. It is best to lay American Shapewear products out flat to dry on a drying rack or other porous surface.


How To Care For Your Shapewear: Storing

Like any delicate article of clothing, girdles, bras, panties, and shapers should not be bunched up or balled when storing in your dresser drawer. Suggestions would include laying the products flat on the bottom of the drawer, or placing them on hangers in your closet. Temperature should also be taken into consideration -- Never store your garments in hot or humid rooms or extremely cold areas of the home. To prolong the life of your products, it is best to store them in temperatures that you would deem comfortable yourself.

More Steampunk


I love steampunk... did you know that the whole steampunk aesthetic began with a very fun and bizarre novel by cyberpunk science fiction greats William Gibson (Neuromancer) and Bruce Sterling A Good Old Fashioned Future)?

That novel is The Difference Engine, and I am reading it now!

So, if you want to look at some seriously excellent steampunk gadgets and designs, start here at Toxel's 12 picks. Fun and cool -- I love this stuff.

Inner as Outer is on the up and up!

According to the NPD Group Research consultancy, the annual retail sales of shapewear grew 10.6 percent to $848.3 million from March 2009 to February 2010, and unit sales increased 3.8 percent.

Holy cow! A large percentage of this is being accounted for in the recent celebrity trend of wearing intimates on the red carpet and more.

Check out this keen article that gives all the details on how the stars are influencing the shapewear market!

Steampunk fashion

I found some amazing steampunk fashion and images at Parliament and Wake. Beautiful. I think it's cool how steampunk came from literary science fiction and spread into design, music, and my fave -- fashion.

American Shapewear worn on TV's Mad Men


Hi! I'm Isabel, and I am thrilled to be invited to blog for American Shapewear!

My first story brings together two of my favorite things: American Shapewear and the amazing show Mad Men.

We've all noticed that Mad Men actors look absolutely incredible -- those period clothes seem to fit better than clothes do today. Well, it turns out that there's an excellent reason for that: the best support undergarments anywhere!


So if you're looking for that perfect look with your vintage fashion -- or with your most modern outfits -- don't forget the perfect foundation: high-quality, comfy, supportive shapewear.
