FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed with a fitted silhouette but includes stretch to accommodate various body shapes comfortably.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the delicate velvet material and organza accents, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric quality.

Does the dress have a waist seam?

No, this design intentionally omits a waist seam to provide a smoother, more continuous silhouette.

Are the sleeves full length?

The sleeves are three-quarter length with tiered bell detailing.

What is the best way to store this dress?

Store it on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place, ideally inside a breathable garment bag to protect the velvet.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or creases in the velvet

Use a professional garment steamer from a distance, or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes to allow gravity to pull out creases.

Fabric looks flat or crushed in certain areas

Gently brush the velvet pile with a soft garment brush to restore the natural direction and sheen of the fabric.

  • Sophisticated tiered sleeve detailing with organza accents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adrianna Papell dress remains in peak condition, always check the garment label for specific laundering instructions. Because of the velvet composition, it is highly recommended to dry clean the garment professionally. If you must steam the dress to remove wrinkles, do so from the inside out or use a garment steamer held at a safe distance to prevent crushing the velvet pile. Store the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples, and avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the rich brown color. When traveling, use a garment bag to prevent the organza sleeves from snagging.
