Troubleshooting

Dress doesn't fit correctly

Consider consulting a professional tailor for alterations to achieve a perfect fit, especially for unique body shapes or heights.

Embellishments appear loose

Carefully re-secure loose threads or embellishments by hand-sewing with matching thread. If extensive, seek professional alteration services.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

Ensure the recommended dry cleaning process was followed. If stiffness persists, a very light steam (away from embellishments) might help, but consult a professional cleaner first.
