Troubleshooting
Crystals appear loose or dislodged.
For minor issues, a fabric glue specifically designed for textiles can be used for reattachment. For significant damage, consult a professional seamstress or tailor specializing in formal wear.
Dress has developed creases in the organdie fabric.
Attempt to steam the creases out gently using a garment steamer on a low setting, ensuring the steamer does not directly saturate the fabric. If using an iron, follow the 'Ironing' instructions in the Care section very carefully.
The grey-blue colour appears dull after storage.
Ensure the dress is stored away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light, which can fade colours. Professional dry cleaning can sometimes help revive the fabric's appearance.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate organdie fabric and crystal embellishments, dry clean only is recommended. Avoid machine washing or hand washing to prevent damage to the fabric and embellishments.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and snagging. Avoid folding for extended periods, as this can crease the organdie.
