To wear this Maia Dress, simply slip it on over your head. It's a great piece for casual outings or semi - formal events. As there's a small stitching flaw at the center front, be a bit careful when putting it on or taking it off to avoid making the flaw worse. For maintenance, it's best to hand - wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent. Hang it to dry and avoid using a dryer. This way, your dress will stay in good condition for a long time.
