Troubleshooting
Wrinkles after storage or travel
Hang the dress immediately upon arrival. Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang in a steamy bathroom to release wrinkles. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat and a pressing cloth, ironing from the inside out.
Appliqué or fabric snagged
Gently push any snags back through to the inside of the fabric using a fine needle or small hook. Avoid pulling the threads further. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor experienced with delicate fabrics.
Dress does not fit quite right (e.g., too long, waist not ideal)
For length adjustments or minor fit issues around the waist, it is highly recommended to consult a professional tailor. Avoid attempting DIY alterations on delicate fabrics like jacquard.
Stains on the fabric
Address stains immediately. Gently blot (do not rub) with a clean, damp cloth and a mild detergent solution if the care label permits. For stubborn or unknown stains, professional dry cleaning is the safest and most effective solution as soon as possible.
