Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your velvet dress in pristine condition, avoid wearing heavy jewelry or bags with sharp hardware that could snag the fabric. Because velvet is prone to crushing, store the dress hanging in a breathable garment bag rather than folded. When preparing for an event, if the velvet has minor compression marks, steam the fabric from the inside or hold a steamer at a distance to allow the fibers to fluff back up. Ensure your undergarments are compatible with an asymmetrical neckline, such as a strapless or convertible bra, to maintain the clean lines of the shoulder strap.
