Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased upon arrival.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct heat on the velvet.
Velvet texture feels flat or damaged.
Velvet can be sensitive. Ensure the dress is stored correctly on a padded hanger away from direct pressure. If minor flattening occurs, a garment steamer (used with caution and at a distance) can sometimes help restore the pile.
Woven overlay seems delicate.
Be mindful of sharp objects or rough surfaces that could snag the woven fabric. Handle with care during wear and storage.
