Wearing this wedding dress is a breeze. First, step into the dress and pull it up gently over your body. Then, fasten any closures at the back. Since it's a mermaid - style dress, it will hug your curves nicely. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Avoid sharp objects that could damage the lace appliques. If it gets dirty, take it to a professional dry - cleaner. And remember, before you store it, make sure it's completely dry. Also, when measuring for custom size, use a flexible measuring tape and measure yourself carefully to get the most accurate results.
