This is a midi-length dress, meaning it typically falls between the knee and the mid-calf depending on your height.
Due to the off-the-shoulder Bardot neckline, a strapless or multi-way bra is recommended to ensure undergarments remain hidden.
The velvet material used in this design typically offers enough give for a comfortable, body-hugging fit, but it is not as elastic as jersey knit fabrics.
Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and to protect the shoulder shape.
It is strongly recommended to check the specific care tag on the garment, as velvet often requires professional dry cleaning to maintain its texture.
Gently steam the fabric from a distance of several inches to help the pile rise back up; avoid direct iron contact.
Use a specialized velvet brush or a lint roller to lightly lift particles away from the pile in the direction of the nap.
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.
