Troubleshooting
Crystal embellishments appear loose or damaged.
Carefully inspect the embellishments. Minor looseness might be fixable with fine needle and thread on the reverse side. For significant damage, consult a professional seamstress specializing in delicate beading.
Dress fabric has creased significantly.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, ensuring no direct heat touches the embellishments. Professional steaming is the safest option.
The fit is not as expected.
