Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Adrianna Papell Tuxedo Dress in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
