FAQs

Is this dress suitable for cold weather?

Yes, the velvet material is thicker than jersey or cotton, providing extra warmth for evening events in cooler seasons.

How do I ensure the ruched waist fits correctly?

The ruched design is intended to be form-fitting. Choose your standard dress size to ensure the waist is positioned correctly on your natural waistline.

Can I tumble dry this dress?

It is not recommended to tumble dry velvet as it can ruin the texture and cause shrinkage. Air drying is the safest method.

What type of bra should I wear?

A strapless or multi-way bra is essential due to the Bardot neckline.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The velvet blend is designed to provide some flexibility, allowing for a comfortable fit around the ruched areas.

Troubleshooting

Neckline slipping down

Ensure the shoulder bands are positioned correctly over the upper arm and use double-sided fashion tape if extra security is needed.

Visible wrinkles in velvet

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for several minutes to allow the steam to relax the fabric, or use a handheld garment steamer from a distance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Turn the dress inside out to protect the velvet pile during the wash.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or flattening of the velvet texture.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, preferably on the reverse side. Avoid direct heat on the velvet surface to prevent crushing.
  4. Compatibility: The dress is standard UK size 12. As the velvet has a slight drape, ensure you choose your standard size for the best fit at the waist.
