To wear this caftan, simply slip it on over your head. It's a great piece for casual outings or more relaxed events. When it comes to washing, you have the option to either hand wash it gently or use the machine on a gentle cycle. Make sure to use a mild detergent to keep the fabric in good condition. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the polyester material. After washing, hang it to dry to maintain its shape. If there are any wrinkles, you can use a low - heat iron to smooth them out. This caftan is designed to fit sizes from 1X to 3X, so it should be roomy and comfortable for most plus - size women. Enjoy wearing it!
