Troubleshooting
Studs feel loose or damaged
Gently check each stud. If loose, a professional tailor may be able to secure them. Avoid attempting to fix them yourself as this could cause further damage.
Dress appears creased
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side, ensuring no direct heat on the studs.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning
This can sometimes occur with sateen. Ensure you are following the recommended 'dry clean only' instruction. Airing the garment may help it relax.
