Troubleshooting

Crystals becoming loose

Carefully reattach with a strong fabric adhesive or consult a professional tailor. Avoid excessive force or pulling.

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Hang the dress and allow it to air out. If wrinkles persist, steam lightly from a distance on the reverse side, avoiding direct contact with embellishments.

Fabric feels stiff or unnatural

This can be due to the jersey construction and embellishments. Ensure the garment has been stored properly and consider professional steaming if the stiffness is uncomfortable.
