Troubleshooting
Crystals appear loose or damaged
Contact a professional seamstress or tailor experienced with delicate embellishments for repair. Avoid attempting to re-attach crystals yourself.
Fabric loses its drape or appears creased after cleaning
Ensure the dress is professionally dry-cleaned according to the care label. If minor creases persist, a professional steam treatment may be required. Avoid ironing directly on embellishments.
