• For tight fitting garments, use a light coat of dressing aid or shiner on the inside of the garment or on your skin before wearing
  
• To shine, use a latex shiner or silicone based lubricant (no oils, water-based lubricants)

DO NOT use oil based lubricants and avoid over shining appliqué details. Lubricants can seep into seams which can cause the seam to become unbound

DO NOT shine fringe. It will stick together and become...un-fringy

AVOID perfume, body sprays, and oils

AVOID metal objects, such as coins, belts, and body piercings or copper, brass, and bronze based items
