To wear this dress, simply put it on over your head and tie the self - tie at the waist to your desired tightness. You can wear it casually with sneakers during the day or dress it up with heels and jewelry for an evening out. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash or hand wash in cold water is recommended. Avoid using harsh detergents. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. And be careful when ironing; use a low - heat setting to prevent damage to the fabric.
