To wear this dress, simply put it on and adjust the self - tie waist to your preferred tightness. You can wear it on its own in warm weather or layer it with a light cardigan in cooler temperatures. When it comes to accessorizing, a coordinating handbag and flats are great choices. For maintenance, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they may damage the fabric and the colors.
