Can I machine wash this dress?

Is the dress stretchy?

What kind of undergarments work best?
Because of the velvet opacity, standard seamless undergarments work well with this silhouette.

Yes, the sleeves are designed to be sheer to create a tonal contrast against the solid velvet bodice.
Troubleshooting
Velvet fabric looks crushed or pressed in areas
Lightly steam the reverse side of the fabric to help the fibers lift back into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Whistles Velvet Sheer Sleeve Dress maintains its quality, follow these care instructions carefully:
- Cleaning: Due to the velvet material, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to protect the fabric's pile.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder bumps and store it in a garment bag to prevent the sheer sleeves from snagging on other clothing items.
- Steaming: If the velvet becomes slightly compressed, use a steamer from the inside of the garment at a safe distance; never apply a direct iron to the velvet surface.
- Compatibility: The dress fits true to size for a regular silhouette; consider layering with a thin camisole underneath if extra coverage is desired.
