To wear this Carmen dress, simply slip it on and tie the waist to your preferred tightness. You can dress it up for a day out by adding flats and a handbag. For maintenance, it's best to machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric and fade the floral print. When ironing, use a low - heat setting to prevent any harm to the linen - cotton blend.
