Troubleshooting

Beads becoming loose

For minor looseness, carefully use a needle and strong thread to reattach the bead. For significant damage, professional repair by a textile specialist is recommended.

Fringe appearing tangled

Gently detangle individual strands with your fingers. Avoid using brushes or combs that could cause further tangling or breakage.

Dress feels heavy when worn

This is often an expected characteristic due to the extensive beadwork. Ensure proper posture and wear comfortable footwear to aid balance and comfort.

Fabric appears creased

Consult a professional dry cleaner. Attempting to iron or steam the fabric yourself may damage the beads or cause shrinkage.
