Goddiva Off Shoulder Velvet Satin Wing Cape Maxi Dress - Green - 12

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, black-tie dinners, galas, and other evening occasions where high glamour and a statement look are desired.

No, due to the delicate nature of the velvet and satin materials, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is the preferred method of care.

The wing cape sleeves are designed to add dramatic flair. While they allow for graceful movement, they may require some adjustment in very crowded spaces to avoid snagging.

The dress is crafted from a combination of velvet and satin, with scuba crepe providing a structured finish.

The off-shoulder bardot neckline is designed to sit elegantly off the shoulders. For optimal comfort and security, it's recommended to wear supportive undergarments or ensure the fit is snug but not tight.

The mermaid hem is fitted through the hips and thighs and then flares out from the knee downwards, creating a silhouette that accentuates the figure.

The velvet and satin combination lends itself well to cooler weather and evening events. It can be styled for warmer seasons by choosing lighter accessories, but its primary appeal is for more formal, often indoor, occasions.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Professional dry cleaning with appropriate finishing is also recommended.

Gently brush the velvet nap with a soft garment brush in the direction of the pile. Avoid pressing too hard.

Ensure the dress is clean. A dull sheen can sometimes result from residue. Professional dry cleaning is the best approach.

Avoid over-stretching the fabric, especially when dressing. If seams are significantly strained, consult a professional tailor.
