To wear this Haven Lace - Up Dress, simply slip it on and lace up the front as tight or loose as you like for a perfect fit. When wearing it, be careful around sharp objects to avoid snagging the fabric. As for maintenance, it's best to hand - wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent. Don't wring it out too hard to prevent the faint marks from spreading. Hang it up to dry instead of using a dryer. With these simple steps, your dress will stay in great shape for a long time.
