To wear this dress, simply put it on and adjust the self - tie waist to your desired fit. You can style it in various ways depending on the occasion. For a casual day out, wear it with sandals and a clutch. If you're going for a more edgy look, pair it with boots and a leather shoulder bag. When it comes to maintenance, machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle to keep the colors vibrant and the fabric in good shape. Avoid using harsh detergents that could damage the cotton. Hang it to dry to prevent any shrinking. And be careful when tying the waist not to pull too hard and break the tie.
