Loose or dislodged embellishment
If a single embellishment comes loose, it may be possible to reattach it using a strong fabric glue designed for delicate materials. For significant damage, consult a professional seamstress specializing in formal wear or embellishments.
Fabric snagging
If a minor snag occurs, try to gently tease the threads back into place. Avoid pulling. For more significant snags, professional repair by a seamstress is advised.
