Featuring a rich berry-red velvet fabric with a detailed flocked finish, this dress offers a dramatic silhouette through its signature dropped waist and handkerchief hem.

FAQs
Is this dress true to size?
The dress is designed as a standard UK size 20; however, as velvet has limited stretch, we recommend checking your measurements against a standard size guide.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, due to the delicate flocked finish and velvet composition, it is advised that you only use professional dry cleaning services.
What kind of shoes match the dippy hem?
The dramatic hem pairs best with strappy heels or elegant ankle boots that elongate the leg.
Is the dress heavy to wear?
While the lining and velvet material provide substance and structure, the dress is designed to be comfortable for an evening of wear.
Can I wear a necklace with the round neckline?
Yes, the round neckline provides a perfect backdrop for a statement necklace or a delicate pendant.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears crushed after storage
Lightly steam the reverse side of the fabric to help the velvet pile lift back to its original state.
Flocked pattern showing signs of wear
Avoid rubbing the surface against rough materials or heavy jewelry; keep the dress in a breathable garment bag when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Joe Browns Dita dress retains its beauty, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Hang the dress using high-quality padded hangers to maintain the shape of the shoulders and prevent the velvet from crushing.
- Cleaning: Due to the flocked finish, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the texture of the fabric.
- Layering: Consider pairing with a contrasting metallic belt to further define the dropped waist or a sleek wrap to cover the shoulders if desired.
- Steaming: If the dress arrives with minor creases, use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance; do not press an iron directly onto the flocked surface.
