Care
Gentle cold hand wash or delicate machine cycle inside out, then dry flat away from direct heat. Avoid wringing the mesh sleeves, and always check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
This dress is designed to sit close to the body from bust to hem, as the photos show. Choose your usual size for the intended fitted look; if you prefer a little more ease through the hips or a slightly longer drop, consider sizing up.
