To use this dress, simply put it on like any other dress. The long sleeves will give you a bit of coverage while still keeping the spooky theme. The LED heart will light up your spirit and the night. Make sure the battery in the LED heart is installed correctly before wearing it out. When it comes to maintenance, always follow the dry - clean - only instruction. Don't try to wash it at home as it may damage the fabric and the LED heart. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition. Have fun at your Halloween parties wearing this amazing dress!
