To wear this dress, simply slip it on and tie the waist to your desired tightness. It's great for casual days out on weekdays. For maintenance, machine - wash it in cold water with like colors. Avoid using bleach as it may fade the floral print. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. And when not in use, store it in a cool, dry place. Be careful when ironing; use a low - heat setting to prevent damage to the cotton fabric and the ruffled collar.
