How do I care for and wash my garment?
For velvet garments with embellishments, extra caution is needed. Dry cleaning is the best option, as hand washing may damage both the velvet and the embellishments. If you decide to hand wash, use cold water and mild detergent, and avoid soaking the garment for too long. Do not rub the fabric or the embellishments; instead, gently swish the garment in the water. Lay the garment flat to dry on a towel, allowing the towel to absorb the moisture. Never hang these garments while wet, as the weight of the embellishments could deform the fabric. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and place a cloth or paper between the iron and the garment to protect both the velvet and the embellishments.
