Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your velvet dress in pristine condition, store it on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation from the weight of the fabric. Avoid hanging it in crowded closets where the velvet pile can be crushed or flattened against other items. Because the fabric is prone to water staining and pressure marks, always opt for professional dry cleaning rather than home laundering. If the velvet appears slightly crushed after storage, steaming from a distance can help revive the pile, but never press the iron directly onto the fabric surface.
