To put on this flower girl dress, first help the little one step into it from the bottom and then gently pull it up over her head. Make sure the cap sleeves fit comfortably on her shoulders. When choosing a size, always refer to the size chart as our sizing is not based on age or height. If you're getting a custom - sized dress, be as accurate as possible with your measurements. For daily wear, avoid rough play that could snag the delicate lace appliques. When it's time to clean the dress, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle hand - wash in cold water with mild detergent is best. After washing, lay it flat to dry to maintain its shape. And don't forget to check our return policy if you have any issues with the dress.
