What material is the dress made of?
The dress is made from a combination of luxurious velvet and jacquard fabric.
How do I care for the velvet and jacquard fabrics?
It is recommended to dry clean the dress or hand wash very gently using a detergent suitable for delicate fabrics. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The description mentions a 'sleek, structured fit,' which suggests limited stretch. It is advisable to consult a size guide and consider the tailored nature when selecting a size.
What is the length of the dress?

Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang correctly
Ensure the dress is properly fastened at the halterneck and that the internal structure, if any, is aligned. Consider professional pressing if creases are stubborn.
Velvet texture appears matted or damaged
Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the pile. Avoid direct heat or excessive friction on the velvet areas.
Jacquard pattern looks dull
Ensure the dress is clean, as dirt or residue can dull the sheen of the pattern. Consult care instructions for appropriate cleaning methods.
