Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment utilizes two distinct fabric types—durable velvet and delicate sheer material—proper care is essential. Always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. It is generally recommended to dry clean the garment to maintain the structural integrity of the frills and the quality of the velvet pile. If spot cleaning is necessary, avoid harsh chemicals or heavy rubbing, which may damage the velvet fibers. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder impressions or wrinkles in the sheer sleeves.
