FAQs
What is the length of the dress?
This dress features a 90cm mini length.
Can this dress be machine washed?
Due to the velvet material and delicate sheer sleeves, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the quality of the fabric.
Is the bodice sheer as well?
No, the body of the dress is made from opaque velvet, while only the sleeves feature the sheer design.
What size options are available?
The Whistles Sheer Sleeve Dress is available in various UK sizes, ranging from size 8 to 20.
Is the velvet material stretchy?
The dress is designed with a regular fit; velvet typically offers limited stretch, so it is recommended to follow the standard size guide for a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases in the velvet
Use a professional-grade garment steamer held at least 5cm away from the fabric to gently relax the fibers.
Static buildup in the sheer sleeves
Lightly mist the inner side of the sleeves with a specialized anti-static spray or a very light mixture of water and fabric softener.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Whistles Sheer Sleeve Dress retains its look, avoid folding the velvet tightly, as this can cause permanent creasing or flattening of the pile. When not in use, hang the dress on a padded hanger to preserve the structure of the frills and sleeves. Given the combination of velvet and sheer mesh, dry cleaning is highly recommended to prevent damage to the delicate fibers. Check the garment label for specific temperature guidance regarding ironing or steaming; it is generally safer to use a steamer held at a distance to remove wrinkles from the sheer sections without touching the hot plate to the fabric.
