Troubleshooting
Doll is unstable on its stand.
Ensure the doll is properly seated on the stand's clip or base. Check that the stand itself is on a level surface.
Tulle on the gown appears creased.
Gently steam the tulle from a distance (do not touch the doll with the steamer) or allow the gown to hang for several days to let creases fall out naturally. Avoid direct ironing.
Accessories are difficult to attach or remove.
Handle accessories with care. If they seem stuck, try a gentle wiggling motion. Do not force them, as this could cause breakage.
