The New Look Velvet Bardot Ruched Waist Midi Dress is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, polished look for evening events, dinners, or party nights. Its key benefits include a flattering, defining silhouette provided by the ruched waist and a classic, elegant aesthetic from the velvet fabric and Bardot neckline; however, users should note that the off-the-shoulder design may limit arm mobility compared to standard strapped dresses.

The dress is designed to standard UK sizing. Refer to the New Look size guide for a UK size 16 to ensure the best fit around the bust and waist.
It is not recommended to iron velvet directly, as it can crush the fabric. Use a fabric steamer on a low setting if necessary.
A strapless, supportive bra is ideal to ensure the shoulder area remains clear and clean.
The velvet material provides a gentle amount of natural give, which complements the ruched waist for a comfortable fit.
Use a cold or lukewarm water setting on a gentle cycle, and wash the dress inside out to protect the outer surface.
Lightly steam the garment from a distance, keeping the steamer head away from direct contact with the velvet to avoid crushing the pile.
Use fashion tape on the inner edge of the neckline to secure the fabric against the skin.
To ensure the dress retains its fit and texture, always follow the care label instructions. While the garment is machine washable, use a gentle cycle with similar colours to avoid damage to the velvet pile. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach. For drying, it is recommended to air dry the dress flat rather than using a tumble dryer to prevent the velvet from losing its lustre or becoming misshapen. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid creases at the shoulders or waistline.
