To wear this dress, simply step into it and adjust it to fit your body. The criss cross back design might need a bit of help to fasten. When it comes to care, it's best to hand wash the dress in cold water with a mild detergent. Don't wring it out, just gently squeeze out the extra water. Hang it to dry in a shaded area to prevent color fading. Avoid ironing directly on the beads, but if you need to iron, use a low - heat setting and put a cloth between the iron and the dress. Keep it in a cool and dry place when not in use. If you ordered a custom - sized dress, double - check the measurements before placing your order to ensure the best fit.
