To use this kaftan, simply slip it on over your head and adjust it to your comfort. You can wear it as a beach cover-up, a casual dress, or even for a semi - formal event. When it comes to maintenance, you can either hand wash it gently with mild detergent or use the gentle cycle on your washing machine. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric and fade the colors. After washing, lay it flat to dry to prevent any stretching. Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Also, be careful not to snag the fabric on sharp objects. Enjoy your beautiful kaftan!
