To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head. It's a great option for casual outings or a day at work. For a more dressed - up look, you can add some jewelry. When it comes to maintenance, since it's made of linen, it's best to machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang it to dry to avoid shrinking. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric. Iron it on a low - heat setting while it's still slightly damp for best results.
