FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing; however, since it is a shift silhouette, it is designed to be slightly loose.
Can I iron this dress?
Direct ironing is not recommended as it will crush the velvet. Always use a steamer at a distance.
What is the approximate length of the dress?
The dress is approximately 97cm long, which typically hits at or just above the knee for an average height.
Does the dress have a lining?
Yes, the construction includes internal layers to ensure comfort and structure while wearing.
Can this be tumble dried?
No, tumble drying is not advised as high heat will damage the velvet fibers and potentially cause the beads to melt or loosen.
What kind of undergarments work best?
Due to the shift silhouette, seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth line under the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Beads seem loose or snagged
Check the interior lining to ensure the thread hasn't pulled; if it has, secure with a small needle and matching thread.
Velvet looks crushed or flat in certain areas
Gently steam the affected area from the back side and brush with a soft-bristled garment brush to lift the fibers.
Fabric attracts lint or dust
Use a specialized velvet-friendly garment roller or a damp microfiber cloth to lightly wipe away debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always turn the dress inside out before placing it in the washing machine to protect the beaded detailing. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Since velvet has a distinct pile, avoid aggressive wringing when wet; instead, lay the garment flat to dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the fabric from stiffening. For minor creases, a light steam from a distance is recommended, rather than direct iron contact, to avoid crushing the velvet fibers.
