Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the fabric stretchy?
The velvet provides some natural movement, but the underbust shaping gives it a more structured, tailored fit than standard jersey dresses.
What is the exact length of the dress?
The dress has an approximate length of 130cm, which typically falls to the floor for a person of average height.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
Velvet is a delicate fabric; it is strongly recommended to refer to the garment tag, but usually, dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the quality of the material.
How do the sizes run?
The dress is available in standard UK sizing from 6 to 18, following standard retail fit patterns.
Is the dress suitable for outdoor winter events?
While the velvet material is thicker than silk or cotton, you may want to layer a shawl or pashmina over the short dolman sleeves for cooler outdoor temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Crushed velvet pile due to storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom (away from direct water) or use a gentle handheld steamer to help the fibers lift back into place.
Visible lint or dust on fabric
Gently use a soft-bristled garment brush or a lint roller designed for delicate fabrics, always brushing in the direction of the velvet's grain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the dress is made from velvet, proper storage is essential to prevent permanent crushing of the pile. Always store the dress on a padded hanger rather than folding it to avoid creases. If the dress requires cleaning, check the inner garment label specifically for care instructions; typically, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the velvet's luster. If you encounter minor lint, use a specialized velvet brush or a soft clothing brush moving in the direction of the nap. Avoid ironing directly on the velvet surface, as this will crush the fibers; if steaming is necessary, use a handheld steamer held several inches away from the fabric.
