To wear this dress, simply slip it on over your head. You can pair it with boots for a casual look or high heels for a more dressed - up occasion. When it comes to washing, it's best to use a gentle cycle in cold water to keep the fabric soft and the stripes bright. Avoid using harsh detergents. After washing, lay it flat to dry to prevent any stretching. If it gets wrinkled, you can use a low - heat iron on the backside of the fabric to smooth it out.
