To wear this dress, simply put it on like you would a regular shirt dress. The self - tie belt can be adjusted to your preferred tightness at the waist. You can wear it with flats and a tote for a casual daily look, or dress it up with heels for a more formal event. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, corduroy can be machine - washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the fabric. After washing, let it air - dry to keep its shape. Also, be careful not to snag the corduroy on sharp objects as it can cause the fabric to fray.
