Slim strappy heels or simple metallic sandals work best as they do not compete with the dress's architectural bodice.
It is generally not recommended as the high neck and keyhole cut-out are designed as a focal point; instead, opt for understated earrings or a fine bracelet.
While it can be worn year-round, the combination of velvet and midi-length satin is particularly suited for autumn or winter events.
Hang on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use a garment bag to protect the velvet texture from dust.
The bias-cut is designed to skim the body; if you prefer a looser fit, you may want to consult the size guide provided for the UK 12 or your specific variant.
The dress is crafted from viscose satin and velvet inserts.
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to avoid water spots.
Lightly mist the underside of the skirt with an anti-static spray or use a silk-safe slip.
Use a specialized soft-bristled garment brush to gently lift the velvet pile in the direction of the grain.
Because this garment utilizes delicate viscose satin and structured velvet, proper care is essential to maintain its original appearance. Always refer to the internal care label, but generally, this piece should be professionally dry cleaned to preserve the integrity of the velvet pile and the sheen of the satin. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the puffed sleeves and prevent the bias-cut hem from distorting. Avoid exposing the fabric to direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential fading of the deep blue hue. Given the high neck and sleeve design, avoid wearing heavy necklaces or large brooches that could catch on the delicate fabric weave.
