To wear the Sophie Dress, simply slip it on over your head. You can pair it with some nice sandals or heels depending on the occasion. Since the belt loop is unstitched, you might want to use a safety pin to keep a belt in place if you choose to wear one. When it comes to maintenance, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash or hand wash in cold water is best. Hang it to dry to avoid any shrinking. And remember, this is a special sample dress, so treat it with extra love.
