To wear this dress, simply put it on like you would any shirt - style dress. The self - tie waist can be adjusted to your preference for a more customized fit. For a sleek weekday look, accessorize it with drop earrings and a coordinating bag. When it comes to maintenance, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, it's best to machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang it to dry. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may fade the leopard print. Also, be careful when ironing; use a low - heat setting to prevent any damage to the fabric.
