Troubleshooting

Missing or loose crystal bead

Take the garment to a professional tailor or seamstress who specializes in formal wear for secure re-attachment.

Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp embroidery scissors, but do not pull on the snagged area.

Wrinkles from storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your dress, store it hanging in a breathable garment bag to prevent dust and protect the beadwork. When styling, avoid sharp-edged jewelry that might snag the delicate cutwork or crystal threads. Because this garment contains fine glass beads, it is strictly intended for professional dry cleaning. Never attempt to wash this dress at home, as water and detergent can damage the structural integrity of the embellishments and the shape of the woven fabric.
