FAQs

Is this dress suitable for office wear?

Can I machine wash this dress?
No, this garment contains velvet and jacquard components that require professional dry cleaning to maintain integrity.

It is a tailored piece designed for structure rather than stretch; please ensure you select your accurate UK size.

Troubleshooting
Fabric appears crushed or flattened
Gently steam the affected area from a distance to restore the velvet pile, but avoid direct heat or pressing.
Difficulty with the halter neckline
Ensure the neck closure is secured properly before zipping up the rear; consider having an assistant help with fasteners if the fit is snug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow these care instructions:
- Professional Care: Due to the delicate nature of the velvet and jacquard fabrics, this dress should be professionally dry-cleaned.
- Storage: Hang the dress using high-quality garment hangers to prevent creases in the velvet pile. Avoid folding to prevent permanent marks on the fabric.

- Handling: When dressing, be mindful of makeup or perfume contact with the velvet to prevent staining or residue buildup.
