To wear this dress, simply put it on over your head and tie the self - tie belt around your waist to your desired tightness. You can style it with sandals for a casual look or dress it up with heels for a more formal event. When it comes to maintenance, machine wash it in cold water with like colors. Use a gentle cycle to avoid damaging the delicate floral prints. Don't bleach it. After washing, tumble dry on low heat or hang it to dry. This will keep the dress looking great for a long time. And remember, avoid ironing directly on the prints to prevent them from fading.
