How to wear this kaftan? You can simply slip it on over your swimsuit at the beach, or pair it with leggings and sandals for a casual day out. When it comes to maintenance, you can either hand wash it gently with mild detergent or use a machine's gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. Regarding the color difference, don't be surprised if the actual color is a bit different from what you see on your screen. This is normal because of monitor calibration. Also, keep in mind that it will take 7 - 10 business days for your kaftan to arrive, so plan your wear accordingly.
