This beautiful caftan is perfect for wearing at the beach or as a nightgown. Simply slip it on over your head and you're good to go. When it comes to washing, you can either give it a gentle hand wash or use the machine wash function. However, if you choose machine wash, use a gentle cycle to keep the fabric in good condition. Hang it to dry to prevent any shrinking. Also, avoid direct sunlight while drying to preserve the colors. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it looking great for a long time.
