Sparkles on DreamJeannes Leggings - A225758

I've been waiting for ages for my good ole stand-by DreamJeannes leggings to be restocked and finally gave up and ordered the ones with the tiny sparkles at the bottom, A225758. Wow, these actually fit so much better than the plain leggings for some reason. Anyway, my question is about those little sparkles. Is there anything I can do before I launder them to keep all them attached? Seems like I read you ladies did something with an iron???? Thanks!

They're Hot Fix crystals, so you may be able to use an iron to keep them set, but it seems like that wouldn't work in the long term.

Keeping them out of the dryer will help, as will washing in a cold water and, if you have a large mesh bag, I'd toss them in there when you wash them.

Any of my embellished clothing I always turn inside out before washing, and hang to dry. Even doing so, though, I've lost a couple of the crystals off my Dream Jeans.
