FAQs

Can I wash this dress at home?

No, this garment must be dry cleaned only to prevent damage to the velvet material and embellishments.

Is the material stretchy?

The dress is made from polyester, which typically has minimal natural stretch. We recommend checking your measurements against a standard sizing guide.

What kind of shoes pair well with this gown?

Due to the maxi length and formal nature of the dress, classic stiletto heels or elegant strappy sandals in metallic or black tones are recommended.

How do I store the dress to avoid damage?

Store it in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place, ideally using a padded hanger.

What is the primary closure mechanism?

The dress features a combination of a secure buttoned back and a hidden concealed zipper.

Is this dress suitable for outdoor events?

It is suitable for formal outdoor evening events, but keep in mind that the long hemline may collect dust or debris in grass or gravel settings.

Troubleshooting

Concealed zipper sticks

Ensure the fabric edges are clear of the track; do not force the zip. If persistent, consult a professional tailor.

Velvet has pressed marks or creases

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner who can safely steam the velvet pile to restore its original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Self-Portrait dress in pristine condition, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's care guidelines. Because the dress is made of delicate velvet, avoid home laundering, machine washing, or tumble drying.

  1. Professional Care: Only use professional dry cleaning services to maintain the integrity of the velvet pile and the integrity of the bow embellishments.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress using high-quality padded hangers to prevent shoulder deformation and keep the velvet away from direct sunlight to prevent potential fading.
  3. Handling: When dressing, avoid contact with sharp jewelry that could snag the polyester fabric or the bow detailing.
