Troubleshooting

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.

Dress appears dull after storage

Ensure the dress is stored in a protective garment bag away from direct sunlight. If embellishments appear dull, a professional dry clean can often restore their luster. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaning methods.
