When wearing this long beaded prom dress, just step into it from the bottom and zip it up. Make sure to choose the right size from US 2 - 16 for a perfect fit. Since it has a sheer back, you might want to wear appropriate undergarments. As for maintenance, avoid sharp objects that could damage the beads or tulle. After the event, gently hand - wash it in cold water with mild detergent and lay it flat to dry. Don't expose it to direct sunlight for a long time to prevent color fading.
