Sizing & Fit Guide

The Jessica Howard velvet dress features a classic fit designed to flatter various body types. The A-line silhouette skims the body without clinging, while the three-quarter sleeves provide elegant arm coverage.

We recommend consulting our detailed size chart for accurate measurements. The dress runs true to size with moderate stretch in the velvet fabric. For between-size measurements, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit, especially through the bodice area.

Care Instructions & Maintenance

To preserve the luxurious appearance of your velvet dress, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended. Velvet requires specialized care to maintain its characteristic texture and rich color depth.

Between wears, hang the dress on padded hangers to prevent crushing the velvet pile. Store in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight. Light steaming can refresh the fabric, but avoid direct contact with the steamer head to prevent pile damage.

Styling & Occasion Versatility

This versatile piece transitions seamlessly from cocktail receptions to formal dinner events. Pair with classic pumps and understated jewelry for traditional elegance, or add statement accessories for contemporary flair.

The rich velvet pairs beautifully with other pieces from our formal dresses collection for coordinated special occasion wardrobes. Layer with tailored blazers for business formal events, or add delicate wraps for evening celebrations.
