To wear this dress, simply use the side zipper to get in. The internal grip tape will keep it in place throughout the evening. It's perfect for summer evenings and pairs great with high heels. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash or dry - clean will do. Remember, because of possible color differences between the screen and the actual product, don't be too surprised if the color in person is slightly different from what you saw online.
