To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head. It's great for casual outings or semi - formal events. When it comes to maintenance, you can either hand wash it gently with mild detergent or use a gentle cycle on your washing machine. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the paisley print. After washing, hang it to dry to keep its shape. Also, be aware that the delivery takes 15 - 20 business days, so plan your purchase accordingly.
