To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head. It's great for a night out, like a party or a date. When it comes to accessorizing, as mentioned, the Dia Heels are a perfect match, but you can also add some dainty jewelry to complete the look. As for maintenance, since it's made of cotton, it's best to machine - wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the fabric and fade the lavender color. After washing, lay it flat to dry to keep its shape. Remember, this is a final sale item, so make sure you're happy with your purchase before wearing it out.
