To wear this dress, simply put it on over your head and tie the self - tie waist to your preferred tightness. You can style it with different accessories like the suggested raffia tote and heeled sandals for a stylish look, or pair it with flats for a more casual vibe. When it comes to care, machine wash it in cold water with like colors. Hang it to dry to maintain its shape. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the seaweed - inspired pattern. If it gets wrinkled, you can gently iron it on a low - heat setting.
