How to wear: You can wear the Bella Dress for a beach day by adding a pair of flip - flops and a sun hat. For a lunch outing, swap the flip - flops with stylish sandals. Adjust the draw tie at the neckline to fit you comfortably. Attention: Avoid sharp objects that may snag the fabric. When washing, turn the dress inside out to protect the pattern. Maintenance: Machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang it to dry to prevent shrinking. Iron on a low - heat setting if needed.
