Product Information
Full details
The Joe Browns Dita Flocked Dippy Hem Maxi Dress is an elegant choice for women seeking a standout, formal-occasion outfit with a distinct wintry aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the combination of luxurious velvet texture and a dramatic handkerchief hemline that creates a striking, flattering silhouette. A key caveat for potential buyers is that the velvet material requires specific handling and professional care to maintain its flocked finish and appearance over time.

FAQs
Is the fabric stretchy?
The velvet material provides a tailored fit; it is recommended to follow the size guide provided for your specific UK dress size.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The flocked finish requires dry cleaning to maintain its texture and quality.
How should I store this dress to protect the hem?
Store the dress on a high-quality velvet-friendly hanger in a breathable garment bag to prevent the dippy hem from becoming crushed.
What type of bra works best with this sleeveless cut?
A standard strapless or adhesive bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the sleeveless design.
Does the dress run true to size?
Yes, it is designed to standard UK sizing, but the dropped waist silhouette provides a specific fit through the midsection.
Troubleshooting
Creases in the velvet fabric
Do not iron directly. Use a steamer from a safe distance or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to let the fabric relax.
Dust or lint accumulating on the fabric
Use a soft-bristled velvet brush or a lint roller designed for delicate fabrics, working gently with the grain of the velvet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is made from velvet with a flocked design, it is essential to follow specific care guidelines to preserve the texture. It is highly recommended to have this dress professionally dry-cleaned to avoid damaging the delicate flocked finish. Avoid direct ironing on the velvet pile; if creases occur, use a handheld steamer from a slight distance to gently relax the fabric. When storing, keep the dress hanging in a garment bag to prevent the flocking from rubbing against other clothing or accumulating dust.
