When you receive your elegant mermaid - style evening gown, simply put it on like any other dress. Make sure to zip it up carefully to avoid any snags. When it comes to cleaning, it's best to take it to a professional dry - cleaner to keep the lace fabric in good condition. If you need to store the dress, hang it on a wide - shouldered hanger to maintain its shape. And remember, if you ordered a custom - sized dress, it's tailored just for you, so enjoy the perfect fit!
