FAQs
Is this dress suitable for machine washing?
Yes, this dress is machine washable, though we recommend using a delicate cycle and a protective laundry bag to preserve the beaded details.
What is the total length of the dress?
The dress measures approximately 97cm in length.
Does the dress have any stretch?
As it is crafted from premium velvet in a shift silhouette, it offers a structured fit rather than high-stretch elasticity.
Can I wear this to a formal winter event?
Absolutely; the velvet fabric and 3/4 length sleeves provide excellent coverage and warmth, making it a perfect choice for autumn and winter formal occasions.
What kind of shoes pair best with this dress?
Given the beaded cuffs and neckline, classic black pumps or minimalist strappy heels work best to complete the sophisticated look.
Troubleshooting
Beading feels loose or snagged
Gently check the threads on the reverse side of the cuff or neckline and ensure no threads are caught on other items in your closet.
Fabric has flattened pile or creases
Use a garment steamer held at least 6 inches away to gently lift the velvet fibers, or hang in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the luster of the velvet fabric, always follow the garment's wash instructions. Being machine washable, it simplifies post-event cleaning; however, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle inside a garment bag to protect the delicate beading. For storage, hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder bumps or deep creases in the velvet pile. If the dress arrives with minor shipping creases, a light steaming from a distance will restore the fabric's smooth appearance without damaging the embellishments.
