Troubleshooting

Creasing in velvet fabric

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a garment steamer on a low setting from the reverse side. Avoid direct ironing on the pile.

Loss of sheen or texture

This is often irreversible and may be due to improper cleaning or wear. Adhering strictly to dry clean only instructions is the best preventative measure.

Stain on velvet

Address stains immediately by gently blotting (do not rub) with a clean, dry cloth. For persistent stains, professional dry cleaning is the safest option.
