To wear this caftan, simply slip it on over your head. It's great for casual outings, beach days, or even some semi - formal events. When washing, you can choose to hand - wash it gently or use a machine on a delicate cycle. Use a mild detergent to keep the colors bright and the fabric in good condition. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the floral pattern. After washing, lay it flat to dry to prevent any stretching. Hang it in your closet when not in use. This caftan is made for plus - size women from 1X to 3X, so make sure it fits you well before wearing. Enjoy your new stylish caftan!
