Troubleshooting

Rhinestones appear loose or are missing

Check for loose rhinestones and consult a professional tailor or seamstress specializing in delicate garments for reattachment. Avoid attempting DIY repairs on the embellishments.

Fabric snagged or torn

Minor snags may be difficult to repair on mesh without visible evidence. For larger tears, professional restoration is advised, though complete invisibility of the repair may not be possible.

Dress loses its shape

Ensure the dress is stored correctly on a padded hanger. Avoid folding or cramming it into tight spaces. If shape loss is significant, professional steaming or reshaping may be required.

Discoloration or dulling of embellishments

This can occur due to improper cleaning or exposure to harsh chemicals. Ensure only specialist cleaning methods are used as recommended.
