To wear this dress, simply slip it on and you're good to go. It's perfect for warm - weather outings like beach walks or picnics. When it comes to pairing, sandals and a clutch will make you look stylish. For maintenance, machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the cotton fabric. Also, don't iron directly on the smocked part to prevent it from losing its elasticity.
