Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after storage or travel.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or have it professionally pressed on a low heat setting, focusing on the reverse side.
Embellishments feel loose.
Carefully inspect the embellishments. Minor looseness may be gently tightened with needle and thread if possible, otherwise consult a professional tailor for repair.
Fit around the bust/torso is not as expected.
