Troubleshooting
Sequins or crystals appear loose or detached
Carefully inspect the garment and attempt to gently re-secure any loose embellishments with a needle and thread appropriate for the fabric. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.
Dress does not drape as expected
Ensure the dress is being worn with the correct undergarments that do not interfere with the intended silhouette. Check that the fit is accurate for your size; a slight variation in size can affect the drape.
Embellishments snagging on accessories or surfaces
Be mindful of sharp or rough surfaces and accessories. Store the dress in its protective garment bag when not in use and during transport to minimize snagging risks.
