FAQs
What is the best way to clean this velvet dress?
Professional dry cleaning is required to preserve the quality of the velvet fabric and the shape of the dress.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The velvet provides some natural give, but the fitted mermaid silhouette is designed to be structured for a tailored look.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
Seamless, nude-toned undergarments are recommended, as the fitted nature of the fabric may show lines from standard garments.
Can the shoulder strap be adjusted?
The strap is fixed as part of the dress construction; if adjustment is needed, consult a professional tailor.
Is this dress suitable for outdoor weddings?
Yes, the velvet material provides moderate warmth, though it is best suited for evening or late-season events.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears crushed or flattened
Use a professional garment steamer from the inside of the fabric at a distance to gently restore the velvet pile.
Dress feels too long during movement
Pair with a higher heel to elevate the hemline and provide more clearance for the skirt during walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the dress in pristine condition, dry cleaning is highly recommended, as home washing can flatten the velvet pile and damage the structural integrity of the twist knot. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a wide, padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation or fabric stretching. Avoid storing the dress in direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant red color from fading over time. Because the garment features a specific mermaid fit, check your measurements against standard UK sizing to ensure the bodice and waistline align with your natural frame for the most flattering result.
