To wear this kaftan, simply slip it on over your head. It's so comfortable that you can wear it casually at home or dress it up for a special occasion. When it comes to washing, you can either use your hands or your washing machine. But make sure to use a gentle cycle if you're machine - washing to keep the colors bright and the fabric in good shape. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might damage the floral pattern. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent any mildew or damage. And remember, since it's a plus - size kaftan, it has a loose fit, so you don't have to worry about it being too tight.
