Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage
Hang the dress and allow it to air for a day, or use a steamer on a low setting, keeping it a safe distance from the fabric. For stubborn creases, professional dry cleaning with appropriate pressing is recommended.
Bow embellishment feels loose
Carefully hand-stitch the bow back into place using a matching thread. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or seamstress.
Fabric looks dull or faded
