To wear this bridal dress, first step into it and zip it up at the back. Make sure it fits comfortably around your bust, waist, and hips. Since it's a mermaid style, it might be a bit form - fitting, so walk carefully to avoid tripping. When it comes to maintenance, store the dress in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the ivory color from fading. If it gets dirty, take it to a professional dry - cleaner. For custom - sized dresses, double - check your measurements before sending them to ensure the best fit. Also, note the processing and shipping times when planning your wedding.
