To wear this dress, simply slip it on. It's perfect for a sunny day out. When it comes to pairing, sandals and a handbag are great choices as mentioned. For maintenance, it's best to follow the care label on the dress. Usually, linen blend fabrics can be machine - washed in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents that might damage the ikat pattern. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. Also, be careful when ironing, as high heat might cause the fabric to shrink. Set your iron to a low - heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the dress.
