Troubleshooting

Visible lint or dust on the velvet

Ensure no fabric lining is caught in the track and rub a pencil lead or a bar of soap along the teeth to lubricate the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your velvet dress, it is recommended to dry clean the garment to prevent the pile from being crushed or damaged by water. If minor adjustments are needed, always work with a professional tailor familiar with delicate fabrics. Store the dress hanging in a cool, dry closet, ideally inside a garment bag to keep it free from dust and lint. Because of the open-back design, it is recommended to use specialized adhesive undergarments to maintain the clean silhouette.
