Troubleshooting
Beadwork appears loose or damaged
Refer to a professional tailor specializing in delicate garments or beadwork for repair. Avoid attempting DIY repairs that could cause further damage.
Velvet fabric develops creases
Hang the garment on a padded hanger to allow creases to fall out naturally. If necessary, use a garment steamer on a very low setting, keeping it at a distance from the fabric. Never iron directly.
Dress does not fit as expected
Consult the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements. Consider alterations by a professional seamstress for a perfect fit, especially given the structured nature of the bodice.
