Why Do Rhinestones Fall off Clothes?

Rhinestones can fall off clothes for several reasons, including:

• Poor quality: If the rhinestones were not securely attached to the fabric in the first place, they are more likely to fall off. Lower-quality rhinestones or adhesive can result in stones that do not adhere as well.
• Wear and tear: The movement and friction of wearing and washing the garment can cause the rhinestones to loosen and fall off over time. Areas that are subjected to more stress or rubbing, such as collars, cuffs, or hems, may be more susceptible to losing stones.
• Exposure to heat: Heat can weaken the adhesive that attaches the rhinestones to the fabric, making them more likely to fall off. This can occur during ironing or drying the garment in a dryer.
• Exposure to moisture: Prolonged exposure to moisture or water can also cause the adhesive to weaken, making the rhinestones more likely to fall off.

To minimize the risk of rhinestones falling off clothes, it is important to choose high-quality rhinestones and adhesives and to follow proper care instructions, as mentioned in the previous answer.
