To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head. It's a great option for casual outings or semi - formal events. When it comes to washing, you can either hand wash it gently or use the machine on a delicate cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might fade the beautiful floral pattern. After washing, hang it to dry to maintain its shape. Remember, the color you see on your monitor might not be exactly the same as the actual dress. And keep in mind that it will take 15 - 20 business days for your dress to be delivered.
