Due to the delicate nature of the velvet and taffeta materials, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
The velvet fabric provides a tailored, structured fit rather than a stretchy one, which helps maintain the defined shape of the waist and bodice.
Strappy heels are the ideal complement to the bandeau neckline and full-length skirt.
This is a midaxi length design that generally falls at the ankles, depending on your height.
Yes, its combination of velvet, taffeta, and a formal prom-style silhouette makes it highly suitable for galas and evening celebrations.
Use a specialized velvet brush or a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the nap of the fabric in the direction of the grain.
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping the nozzle several inches away from the fabric to gently relax the fibers.
As this dress is a structured garment, ensure the sizing aligns with your measurements, particularly at the waist, to maintain the intended 'skimming' effect over the hips. Because of the velvet material, it is highly recommended to store the dress in a garment bag to prevent dust accumulation or crushing of the pile. When preparing for an event, avoid using high-heat steamers directly on the velvet; instead, use a fabric steamer from a slight distance to remove creases. For long-term care, professional dry cleaning is the standard for maintaining the integrity of the taffeta bows and the velvet fabric. Avoid frequent contact with rough jewelry that could snag the delicate straps.
