To wear this 1940s dress, simply slip it on over your head. It's perfect for special occasions or vintage-themed events. When it comes to care, it's best to hand wash it in cold water to keep its shape and color. Hang it to dry instead of using a dryer. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading. If there are any small stains, spot clean them gently. With proper care, this dress will be a cherished part of your wardrobe for years to come.
