To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head. You can adjust the tie at the center bust to your desired tightness. For a day look, pair it with flat sandals and a straw hat. For an evening event, add high heels and statement jewelry. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to hand - wash this dress in cold water to preserve the colors and fabric quality. Avoid using harsh detergents. Hang it to dry to prevent any stretching. Iron it on a low - heat setting if needed. Be careful when handling the puff sleeves and the flouncy skirt to keep their shape intact.
