This evening dress is perfect for formal events. To wear it, step into the dress from the bottom and lace up the back for a snug fit. Make sure to measure your body accurately for the best fit, especially if you're getting it custom - sized. When it comes to maintenance, dry - clean it to keep the satin fabric in good condition. Avoid wearing it in rough environments to prevent scratches or tears. If you have any issues with the lace - up part, contact our customer service for assistance.
