Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit correctly

Due to minimal stretch, precise sizing is important. If the dress is too tight or too loose, consider if a different size might be more appropriate. Ensure you have checked the garment's specific measurements against your own.

Bouclé fabric appears snagged or pulled

Gently try to smooth the snagged fibers with your fingertip. Avoid pulling at the snag. If the damage is significant, professional repair or alteration may be needed.

Diamanté buttons lose their sparkle or feel loose

Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing on the buttons during cleaning. If buttons feel loose, consult a tailor for secure reattachment. Do not attempt to clean the buttons with abrasive materials.
