To wear this dress, simply put it on like any other dress. The self - tie belt can be adjusted to your preferred tightness for a more flattering fit. For a daytime event, team it up with neutral sandals and gold jewelry as suggested. When it comes to cleaning, check the care label on the dress. Usually, it can be machine - washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Hang it to dry to maintain its shape. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might damage the fabric and the floral print. And always keep it away from sharp objects to prevent snags.
