I am new to the group, but all the information in this group is wonderful! Would anyone know how to lower a hem in a little girl's velveteen dress without leaving that tell-tale line on the velveteen where the original hem was? Thanks, Wanda
Once the line is there it will always be there because the pile is damaged. The best you can do is disguise it. A neat row of Russia braid in a matching shade would be discrete, and some could be added to cuff/sleeve hems to match. You could also try a row of matching or contrasting embroidery.
Oh, I'm thinking a row of herringbone embroidery in a shade a bit lighter or darker that the fabric. Kate jogged my brain.

Keeping your velvet above steam and brush it up, will do great miracles, from time to time. :))
kind regards, François
