FAQs
Is this dress suitable for outdoor events?
While the velvet provides some warmth, it is best suited for indoor formal events due to the delicate nature of the fabric.
Does the velvet fabric have stretch?
The dress is designed with a high-quality velvet that typically offers a comfortable fit, though you should refer to the size guide to ensure the best fit for your measurements.
Can I iron this dress?
No, you should never use a standard iron directly on velvet, as it will crush the pile and damage the fabric permanently.
What type of footwear works best?
Strappy heels in gold, silver, or black complement the formal aesthetic of the dress.
Is the slit very high?
The thigh-high slit is designed to be elegant and visible when walking, providing a sophisticated look without compromising modesty.
Troubleshooting
Visible creases in the velvet
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or use a professional garment steamer from the inside of the fabric at a distance.
Lint or dust on fabric
Use a specialized velvet brush or a clean, dry lint-free cloth to gently brush with the grain of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adrianna Papell dress remains in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Due to the velvet composition, avoid folding the dress for long periods to prevent permanent creasing. It should be stored on a padded hanger inside a garment bag in a cool, dry place. Professional dry cleaning is the only recommended cleaning method to avoid damaging the pile of the velvet. Before wearing, use a soft-bristled garment brush to remove any surface dust or lint. When styling, consider a strapless adhesive bra or a specialized convertible bra to maintain the clean line of the one-shoulder aesthetic.
