Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or uncomfortable
The dress has no stretch, so an accurate fit is crucial. Double-check your measurements against a size guide. If it's too tight, a larger size might be needed. If it's slightly loose, minor alterations may be considered, but be aware that altering heavily embellished fabric can be complex and costly.
Sequins appear dull or snagged
Handle the dress with extreme care, avoiding contact with rough surfaces, sharp objects, or jewelry that could snag the embellishments. For dullness, gently brush the sequins in their natural direction to restore their sparkle. For minor snags, carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors; do not pull them.
Concealed zip is stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric or sequins are caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper pull up and down a few times. If it remains stiff, a very small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil rub on the teeth, avoiding the fabric) can sometimes help, but use with caution to prevent staining.
Tulle skirt appears wrinkled
Do not iron the tulle directly, as high heat can damage it. Instead, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer head several inches away from the fabric. Allow it to air dry completely.

Care Instructions
Due to the `embellished sequins` and `delicate tulle skirt`, special care is required to maintain the dress's exquisite appearance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Info needed: [specific washing instructions, e.g., 'Dry clean only' or 'Hand wash cold']. Given the delicate nature of sequins and tulle, professional dry cleaning is often the safest and most recommended method.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag. This protects the sequins from snagging and the tulle from creasing or damage, helping to preserve its shape.
- Handling: Always handle the dress gently when putting it on, taking it off, or storing it to avoid damaging the delicate embellishments or snagging the tulle fabric. Avoid contact with rough surfaces.
