How do I clean the glitter velvet material?
It is best to hand wash the dress in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing and drying. Lay flat to air dry and iron on the reverse side at a low temperature if needed.
Will the glitter wash off?
While some minimal glitter shedding can occur with glitter fabrics, proper care (hand washing, gentle handling) will help maintain the integrity of the glitter and prevent excessive loss.

Troubleshooting
Glitter shedding from the fabric
This is normal for glitter fabrics. To minimize shedding, follow the hand-wash and air-dry care instructions carefully. Shake the dress gently before wearing.
Dress appears creased after storage
Gently steam the dress on a low setting or iron inside out on the lowest heat setting. Avoid direct heat on the glitter.
Velvet texture feels flattened
Ensure the dress is only ever air-dried flat. If the pile is flattened, a garment steamer held a few inches away can help to lift it.
Neckline does not sit as intended
Adjust the dress on the shoulders. Ensure you are wearing an appropriate undergarment, such as a strapless bra, to allow the neckline to lay correctly.
