Troubleshooting
Tulle or sequin bodice appears wrinkled
Gently use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the fabric. Do not iron directly on sequins or tulle, as this can damage the material.
Sequins feel rough or are catching on things
Handle the dress with care. Avoid abrasive surfaces and check for any loose threads or bent sequins that might be causing the issue. If sequins are bent, gently try to flatten them or consult a professional tailor.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to fasten
Ensure that no fabric, particularly the delicate tulle or sequin material, is caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently wiggling the zipper pull. If still stiff, a professional might be able to apply a zipper lubricant or assess for damage.
