To wear this dress, just slip it on over your head. You can adjust the self - tie waist to fit your body comfortably. For a casual look, pair it with sneakers or sandals. If you're going to a more formal event, add high heels and some jewelry. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, you can machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may fade the lilac floral print. And be careful when handling the ruffle collar and flutter sleeves to prevent them from getting damaged.
