FAQs
Is this dress suitable for machine washing?
Due to the delicate nature of velvet, dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the fabric's sheen and structure.
How should I store this dress?
Hang it in a cool, dry place on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding it, as this can create permanent creases in the velvet.
Does the dress come in other sizes?
Yes, the M&Co Petite Ruffle Wrap Dress is available in a range of sizes from UK 8 through UK 18.
Can I wear this to a summer wedding?
While the design is elegant, the velvet fabric is relatively heavy and best suited for cooler weather or climate-controlled indoor events.
What kind of undergarments work best?
Because of the wrap design, seamless, skin-toned undergarments are recommended to prevent visible lines.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too loose at the waist
Adjust the internal tie loop and pull the external waist tie tighter before securing the knot.
Velvet fibers look flattened
Use a clean, soft-bristled garment brush to gently brush the fibers in the direction of the nap to restore the texture.
Creases in the fabric
Steam the dress lightly from the inside out, keeping the steamer nozzle at least 6 inches away from the fabric surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a wrap-style dress, setup involves simply adjusting the internal and external ties to your desired snugness. To keep the garment in prime condition, it is essential to treat the velvet with care. Always hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder creases or indentations in the pile. If the garment becomes wrinkled, use a handheld steamer from a distance rather than a direct iron, as high heat can crush the velvet fibers. Avoid getting the fabric wet, as liquid can cause spotting or disfigurement to the velvet finish.
