To use the Azalea Tie Bottom, simply put it on like regular swim bottoms. Adjust the drawstrings at the front and back to get your perfect fit, and tie the sides as you like. Since it's a final sale item, make sure you're satisfied with your purchase before wearing it. When it comes to maintenance, rinse it with fresh water after each use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Hang it to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight. Don't use harsh detergents or bleach, as they can damage the fabric and fade the beautiful purple retro floral print.
