To wear this dress, first slip it over your head and adjust the halter neck to a comfortable position. Make sure the open back is centered properly. This dress is perfect for homecoming events or other special occasions. When it comes to care, it's best to dry clean the taffeta fabric to keep it in good condition. Avoid washing it in a washing machine as it may damage the ruffles and the overall shape. Before ordering, double - check the size chart to ensure a proper fit. If you're getting a custom size, measure yourself carefully. Store the dress on a hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent wrinkles and damage.
