Troubleshooting
Lace snagging or pulling
Handle with care, especially around sharp objects or rough surfaces. If a minor pull occurs, gently try to ease it back into place. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.
Dress appears creased after storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth on the reverse side. Professional steaming is also an option.
