Troubleshooting

Embroidery threads snagging

Handle the garment with care. If a thread is loose, gently tuck it back in or secure it with a fine needle and matching thread. Avoid catching it on rough surfaces.

Fabric losing its structure

Ensure the dress is laid flat to dry. If ironing, use a low heat setting and consider ironing inside out. Avoid harsh washing or machine drying.

Dress appears slightly creased after storage

Hang the dress on a padded hanger. A light steam from a garment steamer or a low-heat iron on the reverse side can remove minor creases.
