Troubleshooting
Embellishment detachment
If a crystal or bead becomes loose, carefully attempt to reattach it using a strong fabric glue suitable for embellishments or consult a professional tailor for repair.
Fabric stretching out of shape
Ensure the dress is stored correctly on a padded hanger. If minor stretching occurs, professional steaming or a gentle reshape while damp may help restore its form, following dry cleaner's advice.
Dress feels too tight after wear
The stretch-infused construction is designed for a close fit. If it feels uncomfortable, ensure you are following the recommended care instructions to maintain fabric integrity. For significant fit issues, consult a tailor experienced with knitwear and embellishments.
