Troubleshooting

Gently try to secure any loose beads by carefully stitching them back into place with matching thread. If beads are significantly damaged, consult a professional tailor or beading specialist for repair.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct heat on the beads.
