To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head. It's a loose - fit style, so it's very comfortable and easy to move around in. Since it's suitable for plus sizes from 1X to 3X, it should fit a wide range of body types well. When it comes to maintenance, you have the option to either hand wash or machine wash it. Just use a gentle cycle if you're using a machine. Avoid using harsh detergents that could damage the fabric or fade the leopard pattern. After washing, let it air dry. And remember, the product will take 15 - 20 business days to be delivered, so plan your usage accordingly.
