To wear this shirt dress, simply put it on like you would any regular dress. You can adjust the self - tie belt to your preferred tightness to accentuate your waist. For a warm - weather look, team it up with flats and a woven handbag. When it comes to maintenance, check the care label on the dress. Usually, linen can be machine - washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the fabric. Hang it to dry to prevent shrinking. Iron it while it's still a bit damp to get rid of wrinkles easily. And remember, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid snags.
