To wear the Alessi Dress, simply slip it on over your head. The thin straps are easy to adjust on your shoulders. For a more stylish look, you can tie the drawstring at the center waist to your preferred tightness. This dress is perfect for a beach vacation or a casual day out. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to machine wash it in cold water with like colors. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may fade the beautiful vintage floral print. After washing, hang it to dry to keep its shape. And remember, this is a final sale item, so choose carefully before you buy.
