To wear this dress, simply step into it and zip it up at the back. Since it has a built - in bra, you don't need to wear an extra one. Before putting it on, make sure your skin is clean and dry to avoid any stains on the tulle fabric. When it comes to sizing, check the size chart carefully. If you're between sizes or have a non - standard body shape, choose the custom - size option. For maintenance, avoid machine - washing as it can damage the appliques. Instead, gently hand - wash it in cold water with mild detergent. After washing, lay it flat to dry to keep its shape. Don't hang it up while wet as it might stretch. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a garment bag to protect it from dust and moths.
