Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after storage
As dry cleaning is recommended, professional steaming or pressing by a dry cleaner is the best option. Avoid ironing directly as this could damage the delicate fabric or appliqués.
Brooch is difficult to attach or remove
Examine the attachment mechanism on both the dress and the brooch for any obstructions. Ensure it is aligned correctly before attempting to fasten or unfasten.
Floral appliqués lose shape or detach
This is a delicate issue that requires professional attention. Consult a reputable tailor or dry cleaner experienced in handling embellished garments for repair.
