Troubleshooting
Creasing in crepe fabric
Hang the dress to allow creases to fall out naturally, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, preferably with a pressing cloth. Avoid high heat.
Embellishments feel loose
Gently check individual embellishments for looseness. If minor, a small amount of fabric glue or careful hand-stitching may be possible. For significant issues, consult a professional tailor.
Dress not draping as expected
Ensure the dress is fully lined and hanging correctly. Minor adjustments to fit can be made by a tailor if necessary, though the column shape is designed for a specific drape.
