FAQs
What is the material composition of this dress?
The dress features a soft velvet main body with contrasting sheer fabric for the sleeves.
How should I store this dress?
Hang it on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent the velvet from losing its shape or developing permanent creases.
Can this be machine washed?
Due to the delicate nature of the velvet and sheer trim, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the garment's quality.
Is the fit true to size?
The dress is designed as a regular fit. It is recommended to consult your standard Whistles sizing or a size chart for the most accurate fit based on your measurements.
Is this suitable for a black-tie event?
Its elegant design and velvet finish make it very appropriate for cocktail and semi-formal evening events.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the velvet surface
Use a handheld garment steamer from a slight distance to gently release wrinkles without crushing the velvet pile.
Static cling on sheer sleeves
Lightly mist the inner side of the sleeves with a specialized anti-static spray or use a thin layer of lotion on your skin before dressing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the appearance of your Whistles Velvet Sheer Sleeve Dress, handle the garment with care. Because of the velvet composition, it is recommended to store the dress on a padded hanger to avoid creases or fabric distortion. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific washing instructions, but generally, professional dry cleaning is advised to preserve the pile of the velvet and the integrity of the sheer sleeve panels. Avoid heavy perfume application directly onto the velvet fabric to prevent spotting.
