To wear this dress, simply slip it on and tie the self - tie belt to cinch your waist. You can wear it with boots and a shoulder bag for a trendy transitional outfit. For maintenance, machine wash it in cold water with like colors to keep the multi - paisley print vibrant. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric. Hang it to dry to prevent shrinking. Iron it on a low - heat setting if needed. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid snags on the ruffle details.
