To wear the Maarten Dress, simply slip it on over your head. Adjust the thin drawstrings at the neckline to your preferred tightness and tie them nicely. You can also adjust the ties on the sides of the waist to accentuate your figure. This dress is great for sunny vacations, beach parties, or casual outings. As it's made of natural cotton, it's breathable but might wrinkle easily. When you're done wearing it, hang it up to prevent wrinkles. For cleaning, it's best to machine - wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and then hang it to dry. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the cotton fabric.
