Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased upon arrival

Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming.

Beads feel loose or damaged

Carefully inspect the beading. For minor issues, a very small amount of fabric glue might be used on the reverse side. For significant damage, professional repair is advised.

Velvet fabric looks dull or flattened
