To wear this Lolita dress, simply put it on over your head and tie the self - tie waist to your preferred tightness. You can pair it with kitten heels and a coordinating handbag as our stylist recommends. When washing, it's best to use a gentle cycle in cold water to keep the colors from fading. Avoid using harsh detergents that might damage the fabric. After washing, hang it up to dry. Don't iron it at a high temperature; a low - heat setting is better to prevent the print from being affected.
