Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Although machine washable, use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the velvet pile. Turn the garment inside out before washing.
- Drying: Air dry the dress by laying it flat on a clean surface. Avoid tumble drying, as the heat can damage the velvet texture.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the Bardot neckline and prevent shoulder indentations. Ensure it has enough room in the closet so the velvet is not crushed against other items.
- Wrinkle Removal: If the dress arrives with light creases, use a garment steamer from a slight distance. Do not press an iron directly onto the velvet fabric.
