The Self-Portrait Embellished Bow-Detail Velvet Maxi Dress is designed for the modern adult woman looking for a sophisticated, high-fashion statement piece for formal events. Its key benefit lies in the elegant velvet construction paired with delicate bow detailing, offering a refined silhouette that balances classic style with contemporary flair. A notable caveat is the professional maintenance requirement, as the dress is restricted to dry cleaning only to preserve its delicate fabric and embellishments.

While the dress is suitable for most formal occasions, the delicate velvet fabric and embellishments are best kept in clean, indoor environments to prevent damage or snagging.
No, you should not iron this dress directly. Velvet is highly sensitive to heat and pressure. Use a professional steamer or send it to a dry cleaner.
Store it on a padded hanger in a cool, dry, and dark place inside a breathable garment bag to keep the velvet nap in perfect condition.
The dress is designed for a tailored, sleek fit. We recommend checking the size guide or comparing your measurements against the specific UK sizing provided.
Do not attempt to glue the bow back on. Take the garment to a professional tailor or seamstress who specializes in formal wear to ensure the repair matches the original stitching.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom away from direct moisture, or have it professionally steamed by a dry cleaner.
Ensure the fabric is pulled taut and away from the zipper teeth; if it remains stuck, check for internal loose threads.
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the embellishments, always store the dress on a high-quality padded hanger in a breathable garment bag. This prevents the velvet from crushing and protects the delicate bow details from distortion. When traveling, ensure the dress is packed flat with tissue paper between folds to avoid unwanted creasing. As the garment is dry clean only, avoid any water-based cleaning methods or standard laundry cycles, as these will likely damage the material and structural elements of the bodice.
