FAQs
What material is this dress made from?
The body is constructed from high-quality velvet, while the sleeves feature a contrasting sheer fabric.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress is designed with a mini length of 90cm.
Is this dress suitable for machine washing?
No, due to the delicate nature of the velvet and the sheer sleeves, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
What type of fit does this dress have?
It features a regular fit that is designed to be flattering without being overly tight.
Can the frill details be ironed?
We advise against using a standard iron, as high heat can damage the velvet pile and delicate sheer material; a steamer is a safer alternative.
Is the dress available in different sizes?
Yes, it is available in a variety of UK women's sizes, ranging from 8 to 20.
Troubleshooting
Velvet fabric shows signs of crushing or flat spots
Gently steam the garment from a distance, or hang it in a steamy bathroom to allow the pile to lift naturally.
Sheer sleeves appear wrinkled
Use a low-temperature garment steamer specifically on the sheer sections, keeping the nozzle moving constantly to avoid heat damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the velvet fabric, avoid exposure to excessive heat and moisture. When storing, hang the dress in a breathable garment bag to prevent the velvet from crushing. Because of the delicate sheer inserts and frill details, it is strongly recommended to use a professional dry cleaning service for all maintenance. Compatibility-wise, the blue hue pairs exceptionally well with metallic accessories, such as gold or silver heels and clutches, to complete an evening ensemble.
