Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Look velvet dress in top condition, proper care is essential. Always check the internal garment label for specific washing instructions, as velvet is generally delicate. If machine washing is permitted, use a gentle cycle with a mesh laundry bag to protect the material from snagging or crushing. Avoid tumble drying, as this can permanently damage the velvet pile; instead, hang the dress to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. When storing, it is recommended to hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder creases, or store it in a garment bag to prevent dust accumulation and fabric friction.
