Troubleshooting
Lace snagging or pulling
Handle with extreme care when wearing and washing. If a minor snag occurs, try gently teasing the threads back into place with a fine needle. Avoid wearing jewelry or accessories that could catch the fabric.
Frog buttons becoming loose
If a button feels loose, carefully hand-stitch it back securely. Ensure the stitching is strong but does not damage the surrounding fabric.
Fabric losing shape after washing
Ensure the garment is always laid flat to dry. Never hang to dry, as this can cause stretching and distortion. Use a mild detergent and cold water.
Color bleeding (if applicable to darker colors)
Always wash dark colors separately in cold water for the first few washes to prevent color transfer. Use a color-catching sheet if concerned.
