Spring latex dress

Latex grips the skin, so a little preparation makes dressing easy. Dust the inside of the piece with talc, or use a silicone based dressing aid, and lightly powder your skin. This lets the latex glide into position rather than catching.

Ease it on gently and work it into place a section at a time, smoothing with the flat of your hand. Never tug or pull hard. Forcing latex stresses the material and can split it, especially at the seams and edges. If something is not sitting right, ease it back and start again rather than yanking it into place.

Remove rings, watches and bracelets first, and mind long nails, as latex tears easily against anything sharp. Take your time and it will settle beautifully.

Wash after every wear. Hand wash in lukewarm water with a drop of mild, oil free soap or a specialist latex wash, swishing gently so the water runs through it. Never machine wash, never tumble dry, and keep it away from harsh detergents.

Rinse thoroughly, then pat dry with a soft towel and hang to dry fully, inside and out, away from direct sunlight and heat.

To bring up the signature high shine, apply a silicone based latex shiner with a soft, lint free cloth in small circular motions, then buff. Wash any talc off first, as talc dulls the gloss.

To store, make sure the piece is completely dry, dust it lightly with talc so it does not stick to itself, and keep it somewhere cool and dark, out of sunlight. Keep latex away from metal, as copper, brass and bronze can stain it permanently, and store pale or transparent pieces separately, as light colours pick up marks easily. Treated well, your latex will keep its shine and stretch for years.

Made to fit you. Every Eustratia piece is made to order, by hand, and can be cut for a masculine or feminine body. Plenty of our dresses, tops and leggings are worn by men, trans and non binary customers, and we love that.

When you place your order, simply let us know whether you would like your piece made for a male or female body, so we can pattern and fit it to suit you. For a male body, just tell us if you would prefer a little extra room or a smoother, closer line through the front. A short note is all we need, and it is always handled discreetly.

Not sure what will suit you best? Message us before you order. We fit bodies of every shape and we will happily guide you.
