To wear this dress, simply put it on over your head. It's a great piece for casual outings or just lounging at home. Since it's a plus - size dress that fits from 1X to 3X, it should be roomy and comfortable for a wide range of body types. When it comes to washing, you have two options. You can either hand - wash it gently to keep the fabric in top condition, or you can use a machine - wash on a gentle cycle. Make sure to use mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the color of the tie - dye pattern. After washing, let it air dry. And remember, it takes 15 - 20 business days to be delivered, so plan your purchases accordingly.
