Troubleshooting
Embellishment detachment
If a small embellishment comes loose, it can often be reattached by hand using a needle and thread matching the original color. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or seamstress specializing in formal wear.
Fabric creasing
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period. For stubborn creases, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, protecting embellishments with a cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
