  Hi there,
  Have you consulted this support doc? https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  If you have not purchased the Premium upgrade bundle which includes the custom design upgrade, then note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom design upgrade required for CSS editing. See:
  Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

  If you have purchased the required upgrade then please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

  NOTE: As your username account was registered prior September 1st, 2014 you can purchase a separate custom design upgrade, rather than a bundle of upgrades.
