To wear this Vanina black cotton dress, simply put it on over your head. You can adjust the self - tie waist to your preferred tightness for a better fit. For a great warm - weather look, wear it with sandals and carry a tote bag. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach as it might damage the color. After washing, hang it to dry to keep its shape. Avoid ironing directly on the slits to prevent any damage. And always check the care label for any specific instructions.
