Troubleshooting
Lace snagging or pulling
Handle with extreme care. Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects. If a minor snag occurs, do not pull; attempt to gently smooth the fabric.
Dress losing shape after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, preferably hand washing and laying flat to dry. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
Lining becoming visible or bunching
Ensure the dress is properly aligned when wearing. If the issue persists after washing, check the stitching where the lining meets the lace for any loose threads.
Discoloration
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colours. Use appropriate detergents and follow care labels for washing to prevent colour bleed.
