To wear this dress, simply slip it on and tie the self - tie waist to your preferred tightness. It's great for a date night or a casual outing. When you're done wearing it, hang it up in your closet to keep its shape. For cleaning, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, it can be machine - washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might fade the beautiful pink floral print. Also, don't iron directly on the print to prevent any damage.
