To wear this dress, simply step into it and adjust the smocked waistband for a perfect fit. You can dress it up with heels and a clutch for a night out or pair it with flat sandals for a casual day. When it comes to care, machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach. Hang it to dry to maintain its shape. And be careful when ironing; use a low - heat setting to prevent damage to the embroidery and eyelet details.
