How to wear this dress? You can simply put it on over your underwear for a casual beach look. Or pair it with some nice sandals and jewelry for a more dressed - up evening out. When it comes to maintenance, as mentioned, you can either hand wash it gently or use a machine on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent to keep the colors vibrant. After washing, lay it flat to dry to avoid any stretching. And remember, since it's a plus - size dress, it's made to be roomy, so don't worry about it fitting too tight. Just enjoy the comfort and style it brings!
