This dress is perfect for cocktail parties or other special events. To put it on, simply step into it and pull it up over your body. When choosing a size, refer to the size chart as it fits true to size. For maintenance, always hand - wash it in cold water with similar colors to keep the color and fabric in good condition. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the lace on the back. After washing, lay it flat to dry to prevent any stretching. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably on a hanger to keep its shape.
