Troubleshooting

Embroidery threads snagging

If minor snags occur, gently try to pull the thread back through to the underside using a fine needle. For larger issues, consult a professional tailor or seamstress.

Fabric pilling after washing

Ensure you are hand washing in cold water and avoiding excessive friction. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can carefully remove pills.

Dress does not hang as expected

Ensure the dress is properly laid flat to dry after washing. If the issue persists, steaming can help relax the fabric. Minor alterations by a tailor might be necessary for a perfect fit.
