Troubleshooting
Fringe becoming tangled
Gently use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to carefully detangle the fringe. Avoid pulling or forcing.
A crystal appears loose
If a crystal is loose, carefully try to secure it using a fine needle and thread that matches the embellishment's backing. For significant issues, consult a professional tailor or cleaner.
Dress creases easily
Minor creases can be gently steamed on a low setting, holding the steamer at a distance. Avoid direct ironing on embellishments or fringe. For deep creases, professional pressing is advised.
