FAQs

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

Yes, its tuxedo-inspired aesthetic and velvet construction make it highly appropriate for cocktail parties, dinners, and semi-formal evening gatherings.

How does the size 12 fit?

This garment is a standard UK 12, featuring a tailored sheath cut designed to sit close to the body.

Can I iron this dress?

No, you should never iron velvet directly. If steaming is not an option, take the garment to a professional dry cleaner.

What kind of shoes match this style?

Classic pumps, stiletto sandals, or sleek block-heeled boots complement the structured, sharp look of the tuxedo dress.

Does the dress have real pockets?

The double-breasted front is a faux construction for aesthetic design and does not feature functional pockets.

Troubleshooting

Visible pressure marks or crushed velvet pile

Gently steam the affected area from a distance to fluff the velvet fibers back into position.

Lint or dust on the black velvet surface

Use a soft-bristled garment brush specifically designed for velvet to gently remove debris in the direction of the nap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Adrianna Papell Tuxedo Dress in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the velvet material and satin trim, this dress should be professionally dry cleaned. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the notched lapels. Avoid cramming it into a crowded closet to prevent the velvet pile from crushing.
  3. Wrinkle Removal: If the dress arrives with minor wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low, delicate setting. Keep the steamer nozzle a few inches away from the fabric, moving in the direction of the velvet nap to avoid permanent marks or matting.
  4. Compatibility: This dress is a UK size 12 and fits true to size as a tailored sheath; ensure you verify your measurements against standard sizing charts to ensure the best fit across the shoulders and hips.
