Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your velvet dress in pristine condition, always follow the care label instructions. Avoid machine washing if the label dictates dry cleaning, as velvet can lose its nap easily when agitated. For storage, hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder creases caused by the weight of the fabric on standard wire or plastic hangers. If the velvet appears crushed or flattened after travel, a gentle steam from a distance can help lift the fibers; never press an iron directly onto the velvet pile as this will cause permanent crushing and shine.
