Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress maintains its appearance, it is essential to follow specific care protocols for velvet. Avoid machine washing if possible; if the garment label permits, use a gentle cycle with a delicate detergent. Ideally, professional dry cleaning is recommended for velvet to preserve the pile of the fabric.
When storing, do not fold the dress, as this can cause permanent creases in the velvet. Instead, hang the garment using a padded hanger to prevent shoulder marks. If minor wrinkles appear, use a handheld garment steamer from a slight distance—never press directly with a hot iron, as this will crush the velvet fibers and leave permanent marks.
