Troubleshooting
Beads appear loose or damaged
Carefully inspect the beadwork. For minor issues, a skilled tailor or a beading professional may be able to re-secure or replace individual beads. For significant damage, consult the retailer or a specialist cleaner.
Wool fabric feels rough or itchy
Ensure the garment has been cleaned according to care instructions. Sometimes, a professional dry clean can refresh the wool's texture. Wearing a slip underneath can also provide a barrier.
Dress does not drape as expected
Ensure the dress is the correct size and has been stored properly. Hanging the dress for a few days can help its natural drape. If the issue persists, a tailor might be able to make minor adjustments.

Care Instructions:
- Dry Clean Only: Due to the intricate beadwork and wool material, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity and appearance of the dress.
- Avoid Direct Heat: Do not iron directly on the beads or embellished areas. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric only, ideally with a pressing cloth.
- Handle with Care: Store the dress carefully to avoid snagging the fabric or dislodging beads. Hang on a padded hanger in a garment bag.
- Spot Clean (with caution): For minor spills, spot cleaning with a slightly damp cloth may be attempted on the un-embellished areas, but test on an inconspicuous spot first. Avoid harsh chemicals or rubbing.
