When you receive your new homecoming dress, try it on carefully to make sure it fits well. Before wearing it, you can give it a gentle shake to make the sequins sparkle even more. If you're going to a party or event, pair it with some nice high - heels and jewelry to look your best. After the event, hang the dress on a wide - shouldered hanger to keep its shape. Avoid getting the dress wet as much as possible, but if it gets dirty, take it to a professional dry - cleaner. Don't pull or tug at the sequins roughly, as they might come off. Store the dress in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading.
