Troubleshooting
Dress feels heavy or restrictive
Ensure the side ties are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. The weight is a characteristic of the heavy embellishment; focus on the fit around the waist for comfort.
Crystals or sequins appear loose
Handle the garment with extreme care. For minor looseness, consult a professional tailor specializing in delicate embellishments for potential repair.
The fabric lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure the dress is the correct size and allow time for the fabric to conform to your body. If discomfort persists, consider professional alteration for minor fit adjustments.
