Troubleshooting

Beads appear loose or are missing

Carefully inspect the embellished areas. If beads are loose, consider seeking professional tailoring services for secure reattachment. Minor bead loss might be addressed with fabric glue or a needle and thread, but professional repair is recommended for significant damage.

Velvet fabric looks crushed or matted

Avoid direct ironing. If creasing occurs, try hanging the garment in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a garment steamer on a very low setting, holding it at a distance. Professional steaming may yield better results.

Dress does not drape as expected

Ensure the dress is the correct size and fits properly. The lining should help with drape, but significant issues may indicate an alteration is needed, particularly if the length is too long or the bodice fit is off.

  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and light. Ensure it has enough space to hang freely to prevent creasing.
