To wear this dress, simply put it on like you would any other dress. You can style it with high - heeled shoes and a coordinating clutch for a dressy look. When it comes to care, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent to keep the color and fabric in good condition. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the cotton. Hang it to dry to prevent shrinking. Iron it on a low - heat setting if needed, but make sure to turn the dress inside out to protect the surface.
