FAQs

What is the best way to wash the Dormer dress?

The dress is machine washable; use a gentle cycle with cold water and turn the dress inside out to protect the velvet pile.

Can I iron this dress?

Velvet should not be pressed with a traditional iron as it will crush the fabric; use a steamer if you need to remove wrinkles.

How does the size 10 UK fit?

The dress is designed with a fit-and-flare silhouette and shirred waist, which provides a flexible yet tailored fit for a standard UK size 10.

Is the fabric heavy?

It is made of velvet, which is a heavier material than cotton or silk, offering more warmth and structure for evening wear.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

Its elegant midi design makes it ideal for evening occasions, seasonal gatherings, and formal social events.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears crushed or flattened

Use a garment steamer from a distance to lightly puff up the velvet pile; do not touch the fabric directly with a hot iron.

Visible lint or dust on the surface

Use a dedicated velvet brush or a lint roller specifically designed for delicate fabrics to gently remove surface debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated fit-and-flare silhouette
  • Luxurious velvet finish
  • Convenient machine washable material
  • Comfortable shirred waist and cuff details

Cons

  • Material may feel heavy in warmer climates
  • Limited to specific formal or evening styles
  • Velvet can show lint if not stored carefully

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the velvet, turn the garment inside out before placing it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches. Because of the shirred cuffs and waist, hang drying or laying the dress flat is recommended to prevent stretching the elastic components. When storing, ensure the dress is kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the depth of the purple color. If the velvet appears crushed after storage, a light steam from a distance can help reset the fibers.
