To wear this prom dress, first step into it from the bottom and then lace up the back tightly for a perfect fit. When you're at the prom, move gracefully to show off the side slit of the mermaid skirt. After the event, gently hand - wash the dress in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not wring it out. Instead, lay it flat to dry. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in a garment bag, to keep it in good condition. If you've chosen custom sizing, make sure to double - check your measurements before placing the order to ensure the best fit.
