Troubleshooting
Beads appear loose or are falling off.
For minor looseness, a tailor may be able to re-secure them. For significant loss, contact customer service to inquire about repair options or potential replacements.
Velvet pile is crushed or looks uneven.
Gently steam the affected area from a distance, ensuring steam does not directly saturate the fabric. Avoid pressing directly on the crushed area. Professional care might be the best option for severe crushing.
Dress does not drape as expected.
Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a suitable hanger. Check if the garment has been stored folded, which can affect the drape. Professional pressing might help restore the intended silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Dry Clean Only: Due to the delicate velvet fabric and intricate glass bead embellishments, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the integrity and appearance of the dress.
- Avoid Direct Heat: Do not iron directly on the embellishments. If pressing is needed, use a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric only, with a pressing cloth.
- Storage: Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and prevent crushing of the velvet pile. Hang on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
