Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your velvet garment, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of velvet, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the texture and prevent crushing of the nap.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples or creases. Do not store in tightly packed closets where the velvet might be compressed for long periods.
- Wrinkles: If the dress arrives with minor creases, use a garment steamer on the inside of the fabric at a safe distance. Never iron directly on the velvet surface, as this will permanently crush the fibers.
- Handling: Keep the dress away from sharp accessories that might snag the gold trim or the delicate velvet pile.
