Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Gently steam the dress on a low setting or iron on the reverse side with a cool iron. Ensure the iron is not too hot for the delicate tulle.
Tulle snagged or torn.
Minor snags may be difficult to repair without visible signs. For significant tears, professional tailoring or alteration services specializing in delicate fabrics may be able to assist, though results can vary.
Color transfer from accessories.
Ensure all accessories, particularly bags and shoes, are colorfast. If color transfer occurs, consult a professional dry cleaner experienced with delicate formal wear.
