To wear this dress, simply step into it and adjust the smocked elastic waistband for a comfortable fit. You can dress it up for a special occasion with some heels and jewelry, or keep it casual with sandals and a tote for a day out. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash in cold water and air - drying will keep it in great shape. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as they may damage the fabric and the print. Also, be careful when ironing, use a low - heat setting to prevent any shrinkage or damage to the dress.
