FAQs
Does this dress run true to size?
The dress features a regular fit; it is recommended to select your standard UK dress size.
Can I wear this dress in colder weather?
Yes, the sleeveless design makes it perfect for layering with turtlenecks underneath or pairing with tights and a blazer.
How should I clean the velvet material?
Dry cleaning is often the safest option for velvet, but if washing at home, use the delicate cycle and air dry flat.
What kind of bra works best with this dress?
Due to the low V-cut back, a stick-on bra or a low-back converter strap is recommended for a seamless look.
Is the material heavy?
The cotton-based velvet provides a substantial, quality feel without being overly heavy, suitable for year-round wear.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears crushed or flattened
Lightly steam the reverse side of the fabric from a distance to help the fibers lift back into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is crafted from velvet, maintenance is crucial. Always check the internal care label for specific washing instructions, but generally, hand-washing or delicate cycle machine-washing inside a garment bag is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents that can flatten the fabric pile. To remove wrinkles, steam the garment from a distance rather than using a direct iron, which can crush the velvet texture. Ensure the dress is stored hanging in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape and prevent unwanted creasing.
