To wear this dress, simply zip it up from the back. It's a bodycon style, so it will hug your curves nicely. When you're done wearing it, hang it up to keep its shape. For cleaning, it's best to dry clean it to preserve the beads. If you ordered a custom size, make sure to double - check your measurements before sending them to us. Also, keep in mind the processing and shipping time when you plan to wear it for your homecoming event.
