Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive.
The elastane blend is designed for a close fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor adjustments, consult a professional tailor experienced with knitwear and embellished garments.
Embellishments feel loose or damaged.
Handle the dress with extreme care. If embellishments are loose, contact the retailer or a specialist tailor for repair. Avoid snagging the fabric or embellishments on rough surfaces.
