FAQs
What size is this dress?
This specific item is a UK size 16.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is generally recommended to have velvet professionally dry cleaned to protect the integrity of the fabric.
Is the dress stretchy?
The dress is designed with a bodycon fit, which typically provides minimal stretch compared to standard jersey fabrics.
What length is the dress?
The dress is cut to a midi length, which typically falls mid-calf depending on the wearer's height.
Is the zip hidden?
Yes, it features an invisible zip closure designed to blend seamlessly into the seam of the dress.
Troubleshooting
Invisible zip is sticking
Ensure no velvet fibers are caught in the teeth and apply a light touch of beeswax or graphite to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Fabric has compression marks
Lightly steam the reverse side of the fabric to allow the pile to lift back into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this dress features an invisible zip, it is recommended to pull the fabric taut on both sides of the zipper track before sliding the fastener to prevent snagging. For long-term care, always check the garment label for specific laundering instructions. Due to the velvet material, it is best to avoid machine drying, which can crush the pile of the fabric. Store the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples, and use a handheld garment steamer from the inside of the fabric if you need to remove wrinkles without flattening the velvet surface.
