Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Whistles dress remains in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Given the velvet and sheer materials, it is recommended that you store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation or fabric deformation. Avoid storing the dress in direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Compatibility-wise, the blue velvet pairs exceptionally well with metallic heels or minimal black strappy sandals. If the dress requires cleaning, always check the internal care label, but generally, dry cleaning is the safest method to protect the texture of the velvet and the integrity of the delicate sleeve frills.
