To wear this dress, simply slip it on. It's great for casual outings on warm days. For a weekend look, add the coordinating cardigan and sandals. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to dry - clean this 100% silk dress to keep its crushed appearance and quality. Avoid washing it in a regular washing machine as it might damage the silk. Also, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent any mildew or damage.
