To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head. You can adjust the fit around your body. For a more formal event, add some statement jewelry and high heels. If it's a casual day at the beach, a pair of sandals and a sunhat will do the trick. When it comes to washing, use cold water on a gentle cycle to keep the fabric in good condition. Hang it to dry to avoid any shrinking. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might damage the color. Also, be careful when ironing; use a low - heat setting to prevent any scorching on the cotton fabric.
