FAQs
Is the fabric true to size?
Yes, the dress is cut to standard sizing. However, the stretch fabric allows for a slight amount of flexibility if you are between sizes.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is highly recommended to follow the care label. Velvet is a delicate fabric and generally performs best with professional dry cleaning or careful hand washing.
What length does this dress fall?
The dress features a classic fit-and-flare length that typically sits at or just below the knee, depending on your height.
Does the red color bleed when washed?
As with most deep-toned fabrics, wash the garment separately in cold water or use a professional cleaner to prevent color transfer.
Can I wear this in warmer weather?
The velvet fabric is generally better suited for autumn, winter, or cooler spring evenings rather than hot summer days.
Troubleshooting
Fabric has become compressed or flat in certain areas
Use a steamer to lightly fluff the velvet fibers back into position. Avoid using a standard clothes iron directly on the fabric.
Lint or dust is visible on the velvet
Use a soft-bristled garment brush specifically designed for velvet, brushing in the direction of the nap to remove debris without damaging the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this garment features a velvet pile, proper care is essential to maintain its original finish.
- Storage: Always hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples or fabric crushing. Avoid overcrowding it in your closet to prevent lint transfer.
- Cleaning: Check the internal care label for specific washing instructions. Typically, velvet requires delicate hand washing or professional dry cleaning to prevent damage to the fabric fibers.
- Steaming: If the dress becomes wrinkled, use a handheld steamer from the inside of the garment or hold it at a distance. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as this will permanently crush the velvet pile.
- Styling: The dress acts as a statement piece due to its vibrant red hue; keep accessories minimal with gold or neutral tones to maintain a sophisticated appearance.
