To wear the Archie Balconette Top, simply put it on like a regular top and adjust the shoulder straps to your comfort. The draw - tie at the center of the neckline can be adjusted to your preferred tightness. Remember, this is a final sale item, so choose carefully before purchasing. When it comes to maintenance, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, it's best to hand - wash this delicate top in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid wringing it out too hard to prevent damage to the fabric and the underwire. After washing, lay it flat to dry.
