To wear this dress, simply put it on over your head and tie the self - tie belt around your waist for a nice shape. You can wear it on casual outings, like a picnic or a stroll in the park. When it comes to care, it's best to machine - wash it in cold water with like colors. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might damage the cotton fabric. Also, don't iron it on high heat as it could shrink the dress.
