Gently use a steam setting on a hairdryer from a distance to fluff flattened feathers. For dislodged embellishments, professional repair may be necessary.

Dress has wrinkles or creases from storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance. Avoid direct ironing on embellished areas.

Beadwork or sequins are loose
