To wear this Aerin dress, simply slip it on over your head. You can adjust the tie at the center of the elastic waist to get the perfect fit. You have the option to wear it on the shoulders for a classic look or off - shoulder for a more trendy style. When it comes to care, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent to keep the colors and the fabric in good condition. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the floral print. After washing, hang it to dry to prevent any shrinking or warping. Iron it on a low - heat setting if needed.
