Troubleshooting
Dress feels too long
Consider professional tailoring for a custom hem length. Ensure you are wearing the intended heel height when assessing length.
Crystal embellishments appear dull
Gently wipe with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solutions directly on the crystals.
Fabric creases easily
Use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance. Avoid ironing directly on the fabric, especially near embellishments.
