To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head and tie the self - tie belt around your waist to cinch it nicely. You can wear it casually with sandals for a day out or dress it up with heels for an evening event. When it comes to maintenance, machine wash it in cold water with like colors. Avoid using bleach as it may fade the beautiful floral print. Hang it to dry to keep its shape. If it gets wrinkled, you can use a low - heat iron on the cotton setting to smooth it out.
