To wear this skirt, simply pull it up over your hips. The smocked elastic waistband at the back makes it easy to put on and take off. For a stylish look, you can pair it with a lightweight blouse, some cute sandals in summer, or boots in cooler weather. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, you can machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might damage the fabric. After washing, reshape the skirt while it's damp and let it air - dry. This will help keep the box pleats looking crisp and the skirt in good condition for a long time.
