FAQs

Is the fabric stretchy?

The dress is made from velvet which typically has a slight amount of natural give, though it is designed for a tailored fit.

Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?

Due to the Bardot neckline, a strapless or multi-way bra is recommended to ensure the straps remain hidden.

How should I clean this dress?

Always follow the care instructions on the label. Velvet is best cleaned with care; dry cleaning is often the safest option for long-term preservation.

Does the dress come in other colors?

This specific style is available in black, which is a versatile choice for evening wear.

Is the dress suitable for daytime wear?

While typically styled for evening or party events, the midi length makes it appropriate for formal daytime occasions like luncheons or seasonal gatherings.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or crushed velvet pile

Use a handheld garment steamer from a slight distance to gently relax the fibers. Do not press the iron directly onto the velvet.

Static cling

Lightly mist the inside of the garment with a fabric refresher or run a metal hanger inside the dress before putting it on.

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.
