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.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: To maintain the integrity and appearance of the fabric blend, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended. Avoid washing at home or using any machine wash cycles.
