You can take larger size if you have wider or more "fleshy" feet. </td></tr></table> <P> <table width=80%><tr><td align=center> <b>Clothes & Costumes</b> </td></tr><tr><td> <b><u>Washing your clothings</b></u><br> 1. We recommend dry clean for most of the clothings, especially for fabrics with red dye<br> 2. For fabrics that are easy to handle (eg.cotton), handwash it for the 1st 2 or 3 times after wearing.<br> 3. Use rinsing method to drain off excess colours from fabrics.<br> 4. Do not wash it with other clothes, this is to prevent colour runs to other fabrics.<br> 5. Clothes with lots of laces, ribbons & straps, please handle them with care.<br> 6. Always put your clothings into mesh bag if you want to machine wash them.<br> 7. Please ask laundry personnel for care of winter clothings.<br> - Do not machine-wash or soak them for the first time.<br> - Handwash using rinsing method to remove excess colour on the clothes. Don't be awed when you see water turns into certain colour, it is very normal for new clothings.<br> - When colour stops bleeding from your clothings, you can start to machine-wash them thereafter.<br> - Preferably wash them with clothings of similar colours incase the colour bleeds onto other clothes.<br> - Do not machine-wash for clothes that has laces, metal parts, embroidery, sequins on them. (You'll find them seperated/ torn into pieces by then!!)<br> - It is still best to go for dry clean for clothings that have floral patterns and for cosplay costumes.<br> - Air dry the clothings would be better than placing them under the sun. (Some materials will change colour if the sun is too hot.)<br><br> For professional reads on Fabric and Clothings Care, click <a href="http://www.vintagesewing.info/1930s/31-ldc/ldc-toc.html" target=1>Here</a> </td></tr></table> <P> <table width=80%><tr><td align=center> <b>Wigs</b> </td></tr><tr><td> - Always use metal combs, if not use wood ones. Never use plastic as it cause static.<br> - Do not use soap or shampoo (those that will give a very DRY touch after you wash off) on wigs.<br> - You can use conditioner to wash your wigs or on dry wigs for a more silky touch.<br> - For straight wigs, you can use warm water to rinse it through from top to bottom and at the same time combing it. Frizzy wigs will become more straight and silky. </td></tr></table> <P> These tips are all given by miwitch through her own experiences, tries & trials. ^_^<br> If you have better tips to provide, you can always email to: nekoworks@miwitch.com <P> </center> </BODY> </HTML>
