To use this maternity maxi dress, simply put it on like you would any other dress. The multi - tie design allows you to adjust it according to your comfort. It's perfect for a date night or any special occasion during pregnancy. When it comes to care, remember to always hand wash it in cold water. Avoid using hot water or a washing machine as it might damage the fabric. After washing, lay it flat to dry instead of hanging it, which could cause the dress to stretch. Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Also, since it fits true to size, pick the size that matches your pre - pregnancy size for a perfect fit during your pregnancy.
