To wear this dress, simply step into it and tie the self - tie waist to your desired tightness. It's great for casual daytime outings or even semi - formal events. When accessorizing, keep it simple with some dainty earrings and a raffia clutch. For shoes, sandals are a perfect choice for a laid - back look. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent to keep the colors bright and the fabric soft. Don't bleach the dress as it may damage the hand - block print. Hang it to dry to avoid any shrinkage. Iron it on a low setting if needed, but be careful around the print area to preserve its quality.
