Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive
Due to the fitted silhouette, consider the fabric's stretch. Ensure you are using the correct size. For minor adjustments, consult a professional tailor.
Crystals appear loose or detached
Handle the dress with care. If a crystal is loose, a small amount of fabric glue suitable for delicate materials can be used for reattachment. Consult a professional seamstress for significant damage.
Fabric creased after storage
Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow creases to fall out.
